Finding Vehicle Recall Information in Cincinnati, Ohio

June 16, 2024



No matter how well they're made, vehicles in Cincinnati, Ohio, will have design or manufacturing problems.

And when the government thinks a problem is really serious for people in Cincinnati, Ohio, they require the manufacturer to issue a recall notice and fix the vehicle  free of charge. The manufacturer then tries to contact everyone in Ohio who owns that type of vehicle to get the recall work done. Perhaps you have received a postcard notifying you of a recall. The government has links on its websites, or just visit AutoNetTV for links. There are many websites with free recall information and searches. There's CarFax, AutoByTel and the DMV.

Recalls are serious but not all that common. Sometimes there are fewer issues, and for these, manufacturers issue a Technical Service Bulletin, or TSB, that tells service centers like Tuffy Cincinnati (Fields-Ertel) how to repair a frequent or difficult problem.

The pros get updated information through subscription plans, also available in consumer versions for a reasonable cost. So when recalls occur, get the work done, and keep you and yours safe.
