Recalls of cars and trucks are actually quite common. The NHTSA has a website called safercar.goiv at which consumers can search for recalls on their vehicles. A search for recalls on a 2005 Honda Civic turn up 7 recalls. In most cases, recalls apply to aftermarket parts that may have been installed by a repair shop, or to very small parts such as bolts, washers and so on. Normally, the remedy is to take the vehicle to a repair shop and have the potentially defective part repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s expense. A product liability attorney can help protect your rights. In some cases, however, the recall may be over a design defect that seriously hampers the safety of the vehicle, not only for those riding in it, but for anyone involved in an accident with the vehicle as well.
