GMC Recalls

When it comes to your safety and that of everyone else on the road, it's vital that your vehicle has the necessary parts and components and that they work correctly every time.

Automakers like GMC make strides to ensure their cars are safe to drive on any road, but what happens when parts defect, or issues arise that pose a danger?

Let Speck Buick GMC of Tri-Cities explain what happens when your vehicle is recalled and what you need to do to ensure a safe journey!

What is a Recall?

When recalls happen, the manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines a component within your car poses a significant risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards.

Though some manufacturers, like GMC, can issue recalls voluntarily, most of these recalls occur when drivers submit complaints to the NHTSA. If enough similar reports are received, the NHTSA will investigate the vehicle.

A recall notice can mean many things, from airbags to pedals, lights, and electrical systems. However, they're essential for maintaining safety and ensuring that each car follows federal regulations.

If you ignore a recall notice, you risk accidents and mechanical failure while driving!
