No matter how well they’re made, vehicles in Kent, WA will have design or manufacturing problems.

And when the government thinks a problem is really serious for people in Kent, WA, they require the auto manufacturer to issue a recall notice and fix the car free of charge. The auto maker then tries to contact everyone in Kent, WA who owns that type of car to get the recall work done. Perhaps you have received a postcard notifying you of a recall issue on your car. Because these recalls always affect safety, Kent drivers should take them seriously. This isn’t difficult to do because it’s easy to see if a vehicle’s being recalled.

Finding Vehicle Recall Information The government has links on its websites, or just visit AutoNetTV for links. There are many websites with free recall information and searches. There’s CarFax, AutoByTel and the DMV.

Recalls are serious, but not all that common. But sometimes there are less critical issues, and for these, auto makers issue a Technical Service Bulletin, or TSB, that tells service centers like Central Avenue Automotive how to repair a frequent or difficult problem.

The pros get updated information through subscription plans, also available in consumer versions for a reasonable cost. So when car makers recalls occur, get the work done, and keep you and yours safe.
