New Vehicle Recalls: How to know if your vehicle is affected

If you want to know if a vehicle has any open recalls on it, finding out the answer is easy.  Just get the 17 digit VIN (vehicle identification number) and go to https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls.  The government-run website can provide the answers you seek.

Where is my VIN number?

Look on the lower left of your car’s windshield for your 17-character Vehicle Identification Number. Your VIN is also located on your car’s registration card, and it may be shown on your insurance card.
