Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?

March 27, 2018

No matter how well they're made, vehicles are bound to have problems with their design or manufacturing. Think of all the moving parts. When the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the vehicle manufacturer to issue recall notices to Lake In The Hills residents and to fix the affected vehicles free of charge. The they try to contact all Lake In The Hills residents who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their Lake In The Hills service center.

To find out if your car has any recall issues, give us a call:

Recalls are pretty serious for Lake In The Hills residents and don't happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that Lake In The Hills residents still might want to know about. For these less serious cases, the vehicle manufacturer issues what is known as a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB. These bulletins tell Lake In The Hills service centers (including Tuffy Lake In The Hills) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult.

Your Lake In The Hills service center receives updated information through subscription plans, which are sometimes available in consumer versions too.

Whatever your source, pay attention to Lake In The Hills vehicle recalls to keep you and your passengers safe.
