What should you when your Ford has a recall?
Do you want to know what you should do when your Ford has a recall? Most major recalls are for safety. Smaller issues can be fixed under warranty during regular service visits, but a safety recall should be taken care of as soon as possible. Most safety recalls will only become an issue when you are in an accident, but since you never know when an accident may happen, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Where can you get a Ford safety recall taken care of?
If you are aware of a safety recall, then you just have to contact your local Ford dealership. They will make sure that they have the proper parts to correct the issue. If they have the parts, they can get the work done and have you back on the road in a safe vehicle in no time.

How does Ford know your address? When you bought your Ford new, Ford received your address. If you didn’t buy your Ford new, then Ford may have found you through the previous owner or through DMV records. Ford takes all safety recalls very seriously. They want to make sure you can fix your vehicle before safety becomes an issue.
Where can you find out if your Ford has a recall?
The NHTSA or National Highway Traffic Safety Institute manages all safety recalls in the United States. If you want to check to see if your car has a safety recall, all you have to do is punch in the VIN. Service centers update the NHTSA database when they correct a recall. This way you will be able to tell if your specific car has any recalls that you need to take care of.
