Check campaigns before you shop

0 / 4 beginner steps

1. 01Type the 17 characters at SaferCarnhtsa.gov/recalls. Year/make/model rows on /recalls are a pamphlet. Close-out is the VIN.Say: Is there an open campaign on this VIN for the airbag or the part you want to replace?
2. 02Refuse a used inflatorSalvage bags re-install the defect. The campaign exists because that happened.Say: I will not authorize a used airbag. If it is open, I want the dealer campaign.
3. 03Driver and passenger can be different campaignsOne closed recall does not close the other side. Read both lines.Say: Show me driver and passenger inflator status, not one checkbox.
4. 04Indie can still do the rest of the carBrakes, oil, and a scan stay indie. The inflator is the exception.Say: Do the brakes here. The open inflator goes to the dealer campaign.
