When vehicle owners receive a recall notice, they should take the report seriously. A recall notice reveals the manufacturer discovered a defect in a particular model. Sometimes, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issues the recall. Regardless, a defect could undermine safety, so bring the vehicle to the dealership for repairs proves advisable.
Manufacturers must perform recall repairs free of charge. A statute of limitations exists, and it is 10 years. Owners who allow the statute of limitations to expire lose their chance to get a free fix while also continuing to drive a potentially unsafe vehicle. Again, moving swiftly to get recall work performed seems prudent.
Dealerships are often home to technicians familiar with the vehicles requiring recall work. Some recall repairs could involve minor work, while other jobs may be more extensive.
If your vehicle requires a recall, ask Livermore Lincoln for assistance. Our service department also performs routine maintenance requests.
