Recall FAQs
What does it mean when there are recalls on your car? Recalls are issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which tests vehicles to assess their adherence to safety standards. The NHTSA issues a recall if safety testing uncovers a defect that could pose a safety risk. If there are recalls on your car, all you need to do is head to an authorized Warner Robins dealership that sells your vehicle's make, where your car will be repaired free of charge.
How Do I Check for Recalls On My Car?

- A risk to motor vehicle safety.
- A defect that likely exists in a group of vehicles of the same design or manufacture.
