Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?

September 30, 2022

No matter how well they're made, vehicles are bound to have problems with their design or manufacturing. Think of all the moving parts. When the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the vehicle manufacturer to issue recall notices to St. Johns residents and to fix the affected vehicles free of charge. The they try to contact all St. Johns residents who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their St. Johns service center.

To find out if your car has any recall issues, give us a call:

Tuffy St. Johns
2770 Racetrack Rd.
St. Johns , Florida 32259
904.230.3363

These recalls always affect safety, so St. Johns residents would be wise to take them seriously. It's really easy to find out if a vehicle is being recalled. For links to government sites, look in the AutoNetTV website.


Other website include: carfax.com; autobytel.com; and dmv.org. All of these sites have free recall searches.

Recalls are pretty serious for St. Johns residents and don't happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that St. Johns residents still might want to know about. For these less serious cases, the vehicle manufacturer issues what is known as a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB. These bulletins tell St. Johns service centers (including Tuffy St. Johns) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult.

Your St. Johns service center receives updated information through subscription plans, which are sometimes available in consumer versions too.

Whatever your source, pay attention to St. Johns vehicle recalls to keep you and your passengers safe.
