2021 marked the highest year for vehicle and related equipment recalls in the United States, with 1,093 recalls affecting 34.3 million products
To help keep drivers aware of recalls affecting their vehicles, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is hosting Vehicle Safety Recalls Week from March 7-13, 2022. The event coincides with the beginning of Daylight Saving Time, which occurs Sunday, March 13, 2022. Twice a year, as Americans set their clocks forward and back, we work to remind drivers to use this time to also check their Vehicle Identification Numbers for open safety recalls using NHTSA’s user-friendly VIN Look-Up Tool. This web tool allows vehicle owners to check for open safety recalls on their vehicles or automotive equipment, such as tires and car seats.
