Recalls for June 1, 2015

Good morning everyone.  I hope you had a nice weekend.

This morning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued several recalls for rupturing air bags.  Front and side air bags are the focus.  Additionally, there is trouble with a misaligned air bag module and there is faulty tire information on a label.

All of these issues might cause injury or worse.  You might think how can a label affect safety?  Well, if the wrong size tire is installed on a vehicle it could lead to a blowout.

If your vehicle is affected by a recall please have it repaired as quickly as possible.

Have a safe motoring week!
