Fleet Vehicle Recalls

Recalls on vehicles do not expire and most recalls will be fixed at the cost of the manufacturer. Federal law requires that all safety recalls on vehicles less than 15 years old be repaired at no cost to the owner. However, if you are outside of that range and discover an unresolved recall on your vehicle, you can still contact your local dealership and explain the situation to see about getting service scheduled.

If you believe you may have missed a recall alert from your vehicle's manufacturer, you can manually check the NHTSA's recall database to see if there are any new or open recalls for your vehicle. If you're using a fleet management software with a built-in VIN decoder, you will receive automatic recall alerts as they happen, ensuring that your vehicles receive the repairs they need when they need them.

Car manufacturers are required to notify vehicle owners of recalls – often through mail, email or sometimes by phone. The recall alert will include details about the recall and what action is required to correct the issue on your vehicle. From there, you can schedule service with a dealership to get your car repaired and back on the road.
