Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?

September 27, 2020

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 Commerce residents and to fix the affected vehicles free of charge. The they try to contact all Commerce residents who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their Commerce service center.

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

Commerce Auto Repair
9575 Commerce Rd.
Commerce, Michigan 48382
248.363.3749

These recalls always affect safety, so Commerce residents would be wise to take them seriously. It's really easy to find out if a vehicle is being recalled. For links to government sites, look in the AutoNetTV website.


Other website include: carfax.com; autobytel.com; and dmv.org. All of these sites have free recall searches.

Recalls are pretty serious for Commerce residents and don't happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that Commerce 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 Commerce service centers (including Commerce Auto Repair) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult.

Your Commerce service center receives updated information through subscription plans, which are sometimes available in consumer versions too.

Whatever your source, pay attention to Commerce vehicle recalls to keep you and your passengers safe.
