At each stop, safety experts will be on the ground running free safety checks for vehicle recalls, tire inflation, car seat installation and heatstroke prevention. These community events are open to the public and co-sponsored by NHTSA, Safe Kids Worldwide, AAA and the Rubber Manufacturers Association, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re meeting motorists in their communities to show them that protecting their vehicles means protecting their loved ones,\u201d said NHTSA Administrator Dr. Mark Rosekind. \u201cWe want to show people how simple it can be to take safety into their own hands. Taking a few minutes to run a safety check on your car, tires or car seats could help prevent a crash and save a life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The public safety checks for vehicle recalls is a first for NHTSA and is an offshoot of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/About+NHTSA\/Press+Releases\/nhtsa-launches-safe-cars-save-lives-campaign-01212015\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018Safe Cars Save Lives\u2019 campaign<\/a> the agency launched in January.
