Staying on top of recalls not only ensures your safety and that of your passengers but also protects your vehicle's long-term value and reliability.

Why Check?
Recalls are issued when a manufacturer or Transport Canada determines that a vehicle model has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal safety standard. Repairs are free.
Resale Value
An outstanding recall can negatively impact your trade-in value. Dealers prefer vehicles with a clean safety record and all manufacturer updates completed.
