| For most people, the end of Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, November 3 means little more than an extra hour of sleep, earlier sunrises and sunsets, or maybe a reminder to change your smoke detector batteries. But let's make the tradition of springing forward and falling back our new cue for addressing an important safety issue: Checking for vehicle recalls. Don't risk your safety, that of your loved ones, or others on the road by failing to address any open vehicle recall. Taking a few minutes to maintain the family car can help keep everyone safe on the road. Remember: "Safe Cars Save Lives." Take these steps to protect yourself and your family: Check for Recalls. Visit NHTSA.gov/recalls and enter your vehicle's 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN). In seconds, you'll know if your vehicle is subject to a safety recall. Get It Fixed. If your vehicle is affected by a recall, contact your dealer to schedule a repair. Every recall is fixed for FREE. Get Alerted. Sign up for Recall Alerts. If your vehicle is included in a future recall, you'll receive an e-mail letting you know. If you think your vehicle may have a safety-related defect that isn't part of a current recall, contact NHTSA. Even a single complaint is enough to trigger a recall. Contact NHTSA online or by calling the agency's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236. Stay safe by checking for recalls, getting any open recalls fixed and encouraging your friends, family, and neighbors to do the same.
