Steps for Car Recakks

If you’re a Hyundai owner and your vehicle has been recalled for any reason, there’s no need to panic. A safety recall should never be ignored, but in most cases, rectifying the issue is a simple process that can be handled with no out-of-pocket cost.

What is a Recall?

A recall happens when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration deems that a vehicle has a defect or design flaw that does not adhere to safety standards. This is usually due to one part or component of a vehicle, not the entire unit. If a recall is issued, the manufacturer takes full responsibility for repairing the issue at no cost to the owner, so don’t let the fear of a financial burden stop you from getting repairs. Follow the steps below, and your recall repairs can be completed in no time.

Step 1 – Verify The Recall

You can check the recall status of your vehicle in two ways.

Manufacturer notification: If you purchase a new or certified pre-owned Hyundai, you can expect to receive a notification in the mail detailing any issues, associated risks, and recommended next steps. Additionally, you may receive alerts through any connected services apps linked to your vehicle.

NHTSA website: If you're unsure whether you've missed a recall notification, you can use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to check for any recalls on your vehicle by searching the database on the NHTSA website.

Step 2 – Contact Your Dealership or Manufacturer

Now that you’ve verified that your vehicle has been recalled contact the team at a local authorized dealer. If you’re a Hyundai driver in Lebanon, TN, contact Wilson County Hyundai, and our service team will walk you through the next steps.
