Recalls can seem complex, but it’s easy to look up if your car is affected and come in for Mazda service. Find out more about car recalls below, and come visit Sansone Mazda for repairs today!

What Is a Recall?

When a car manufacturer sees the same part fail on a number of different vehicles, they contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to perform an objective investigation. The NHTSA tests the parts to determine if the problem occurs across the model year, or only affects a specific run of vehicles manufactured within it. In the end, they announce what cars and what parts are affected on their site.

How Do I Know If I’m Affected?

You can look up whether your car is affected by a recall with your VIN, or vehicle identification number. Plug your VIN into our website for a full report on whether your car is affected and, if so, what the next steps should be. Then, call our recall support line to make an appointment with our team.

Are Recalls Expensive?

It’s easy to put off even necessary repairs if you’re worried about the cost, but there’s no reason to do that with recalls. Service due to recalls is covered for 15 years after the car’s first sale, so there’s no cost attached. Even if your car is older than 15 years, your manufacturer may still cover the cost of recalls.

When you visit Sansone Mazda to take care of vehicle recalls, you’ll receive a complimentary multi-point inspection, car wash, and refreshments. We also offer flexible scheduling and extended service hours with our team.
