How to Check If a Recalled Vehicle Got Fixed
When a manufacturer recall is issued for a particular vehicle, the manufacturer provides the parts and labor necessary for the repair free of charge. After this repair is made, the dealership logs the vehicle identification number and stores this information in a computerized database. This information is kept on file in order to keep track of which vehicles have been repaired. In order to obtain this information, the VIN is needed.
