What is a Recall?
A vehicle recall occurs when a manufacturer
determines a model within their lineup has safety issues. They then
issue a notice for all owners of said vehicle to bring their vehicles
back to the service center so a service team can fix the problems.
Generally speaking, vehicle recalls can be issued at any time and can be
found anywhere. Regardless of where you first see the recall for your
vehicle, you should take it seriously.
Please also keep in mind
that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) can
issue recalls if the manufacturer fails to do so. Most decisions to
issue a recall happen independently of the NHTSA. However, they can
still play a part in issuing a recall if necessary.
What Happens if My Hyundai Receives a Recall?
While
recalls do happen, they are nothing to be afraid of if you promptly fix
the issue near the Tri-County area. If your new Hyundai receives a
recall for a safety issue, bringing your vehicle into a service center
as soon as possible is the best response. This ensures you can fix the
issue quickly and keep your safety a priority.
We
recommend giving our service center a call and scheduling service.
Customers can also schedule service online from their homes or office.
We also suggest you double-check your warranty information, which may
cover the recall.
Is it a Good Idea to Purchase a Vehicle with a Recall On it?
Recalls
may be important to pay attention to, but only when you already own the
vehicle. If you aim to bring home a new Hyundai but discover it has a
recall on it, you can leave your worries behind. Any dealership is
required to service and fix a vehicle if it has a recall or other issue.
Essentially, it is well worth your time to consider a new model with a
recall on it, as the dealership will fix the issue for you before you
officially bring it home.
