What should an owner do if there's a recall?
Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period.

You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
