How to Know If Your Car Is Affected by a Volkswagen US Vehicle Recall 

Volkswagen US Vehicle

The road can be a dangerous place, so you need a vehicle that’s safe. If your vehicle has a Volkswagen US vehicle recall, you may not have a vehicle you can trust. Our experts at North Penn Volkswagen share how to know if your car is affected by a safety recall.

Recall Notification

If a vehicle or its equipment no longer meets safety standards, or poses an unreasonable safety risk, it will be recalled. Manufacturers are legally required to notify car owners if a vehicle has a safety recall.

Once a recall is detected, a notification must be sent within 60 days. Every registered owner of the vehicle will receive a notification by mail, to their address on file.

Checking for a Volkswagen US Vehicle Recall

If your registered address isn’t up to date, or you’re concerned you missed a notification, you can also proactively check for open recalls. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) lists open recalls on their site. You can search for your vehicle by your license plate number or by your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

We also have a similar search tool on our website. Start by navigating to “Service Center”, select “Recall Department”, and then click “Check for Recall”.

Scheduling Repairs

Your recall notification will let you know the exact issues or defects with your vehicle and whether or not it’s considered safe to drive. If your vehicle has an open recall, it’s so important to schedule Volkswagen repairs as soon as possible. If you visit our authorized Volkswagen service center, the cost of your repairs and any new Volkswagen parts you need are covered. If your vehicle isn’t safe to drive, we can also help you arrange towing to our dealership.
