Stop Ignoring Your Vehicles Recalls Lonny Haschel From The Natl Safety Council

Many drivers assume they’d know if their car had a serious safety issue, but that’s often not the case. A survey commissioned by automaker Stellantis found that nearly half of American drivers don’t know how to check whether their vehicle has an open safety recall, and 40% believe a recall is fine as long as it doesn’t affect how the vehicle drives.  The truth is that unrepaired safety recalls, such as faulty airbags or brakes, can cause serious injury or death. During interviews on Friday, February 27th, vehicle safety expert Lonny Haschel, Senior Program Manager of the Check to Protect Program at the National Safety Council, is available for interviews to share how vehicle safety recalls work, how to check for one in seconds, and why repairs are always free at dealerships – regardless of the vehicle’s age, warranty, or ownership history.
