Don’t Pay Repair Bill Until Checking For Auto Recalls

1/8/2019

0 Comments

 
Question:  I bought a 3 year old used car.  After driving it for a year, the wheel basically fell off the car.  I have a quote of $2,500 to fix the wheel and the resulting damage to the car’s body.  What are my options.     
 
Answer:  Before digging into your pocket, check the recall history for your car’s make and model.  You may find a recall for wheel related deficiencies –ignored by the car’s former owner.  The cost for your repairs may be covered.
 
Follow these steps:
 
  1. Search recall history online:  With a few clicks on any auto manufacturer’s website, you will find a search screen.  Enter your car’s VIN number (found on your car’s registration).  Here you will find detailed information about all recalls affecting your vehicle.  A Carfax report will also provide recall history.
  2. Call manufacturer: Work out details of your repairs and confirm they are covered under the recall terms.
  3. Visit your dealer’s repair shop, or possibly even a private repair shop.  
  4. Don’t forget to ask about temporary transportation.  Recall repairs may provide coverage for loaner cars.
