Recall FAQs
What is a vehicle recall?
A vehicle recall is issued when the manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies a safety hazard in your vehicle. While recalls can be inconvenient, they are essential to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. If your vehicle has a recall, the manufacturer is responsible for fixing the issue at no cost to you. If you've received a recall notice, schedule a service appointment with our team at Mazda San Francisco online today.
What is the NHTSA?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is a federal agency dedicated to protecting drivers and passengers on the road. The NHTSA also provides safety ratings for vehicles, helping consumers make informed decisions about the safest cars available. For more details about their mission, visit the NHTSA website.
How can I check if the used car I'm interested in has a safety recall?
To check for an open recall on a used vehicle, you can:
• Use the NHTSA's search tool by entering the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
• Search by the vehicle's year, make, and model.
• Visit the manufacturer's website for recall information.
• Request the vehicle's CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ from our team at Mazda San Francisco, which will list any open recalls.
How will I know if my vehicle is subject to a safety recall after I purchase it?
The manufacturer will notify you of any safety recalls by mail using the address listed on your vehicle registration. The recall notice will detail the safety issue and its associated risks. To ensure you receive these notifications, it's essential to keep your address and vehicle registration up to date. You can also sign up for email alerts from the manufacturer for added convenience.
