The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a new tool to help vehicle owners quickly identify if their vehicle has an urgent safety recall where the vehicle should not be driven or parked inside until fixed.
Vehicle owners can visit NHTSA.gov/Recalls and search for their vehicle and a red box will display at the top of the page if their vehicle has an open “do not drive” or a fire risk recall.
NHTSA has added the feature to alert vehicle owners to the urgency of these recalls, including taking preventative actions until the recall repair is completed.
The new tool comes as a number of fire-related recalls have been issued recently.
