BAKER CITY – This week is Vehicle Safety Recall Week, a week used as a reminder to check your vehicle for safety recalls. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, In 2021 alone, there were 1,093 safety recalls affecting more than 34 million vehicles and other automotive equipment in the United States, some of the highest recall numbers on record.
The Oregon Department of Transportation works hard to keep people safe on Oregon’s roadways, which includes encouraging drivers to check their vehicles for open safety recalls. That Nation Highway Transportation Safety Administration has a free, user-friendly Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Look-Up Tool, located at NHTSA.gov/recalls to check for open safety recalls on your vehicles or automotive equipment.
