What Should I Do if My Car Has Recalled Parts?

Every year in the United States, millions of vehicles are recalled by auto manufacturers or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Every safety defect places drivers and passengers at risk of sustaining injuries caused by a motor vehicle accident. The purpose of car recalls is to prevent defective automobiles from hurting drivers and passengers. Unfortunately, automakers issue far too many delayed car recalls that fail to protect motorists from sustaining injuries caused by a vehicle collision.

If you received a recall notice from an auto manufacturer, you need to answer the question, “What should I do if my car has recalled parts.” The answer is not as clear-cut as it appears. If you received a recall notice for vehicle parts, you should contact the auto manufacturer to request a remedy that covers your financial losses. On the other hand, if you received a recall notice after you were involved in a vehicle collision, the delayed recall notice might justify the filing of a personal injury lawsuit that seeks monetary damages.

In either case, you should contact a car defect attorney to determine how to handle the recall. Since 1988, the product liability lawyers at Morgan & Morgan have helped clients recover more than $25 billion in monetary damages for personal injury cases. When you sit down for a free case evaluation, one of our experienced car defect attorneys reviews your case to decide whether you should move forward with the filing of a civil lawsuit. Even if you do not file a personal injury lawsuit, the lawyer representing you from Morgan & Morgan ensures you receive the legal rights granted under the product recall laws at the state and federal levels.
