What Should I Do If My Car Has a Recall? | Huntsville, AL

1. Verify and Check Car Recall

Check if your Hyundai has an open safety or manufacturer recall. You can do this by following these tips:

• Check manufacturer notifications. If you purchase your vehicle from an authorized dealer, such as Bentley Hyundai, you will receive a notification from the manufacturer. You can also receive notifications by email or by connecting the MyHyundai app with the Bluelink app. Your dealership or manufacturer can also provide you with information about recent recalls.
• Consult the NHTSA. You can access recall records online at the NHTSA. You can use your Hyundai's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or license plate to check whether your car is subject to a recall. Recall information is also available on the NHTSA's free app.

Furthermore, there's an app called SaferCar. This is a free app from the NHTSA that allows you to receive recall information. Install it on your device and enter your vehicle's details and equipment. You will receive a notification from the NHTSA if there are any safety recalls.

2. Schedule a Repair Appointment

When you confirm that your vehicle has a recall, contact your local dealership to arrange for repairs. Sometimes, following a recall, you must follow additional instructions to fix your vehicle.
