The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is providing a new tool to help quickly identify if a vehicle has an urgent safety recall where the vehicle should not be driven or parked inside until fixed.
When a vehicle VIN search is conducted at NHTSA.gov/Recalls, 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 is adding this feature to alert vehicle owners to the urgency of these recalls, including taking preventative actions until the recall repair is completed.
This eye-catching display comes as a number of fire-related recalls have been issued recently.
