Automakers Warn Owners With 'Do Not Drive' Recalls To Not Operate Those Vehicles
Automakers working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issue "Do Not Drive" recalls when a vehicle's defect is so dangerous that it should not be operated under any circumstances 鈥� not even for a short trip. The risk of a crash, fire, or serious injury is so severe that both manufacturers and federal safety regulators advise owners to park the vehicle immediately and have it towed to a dealership for repairs. These recalls often involve critical safety systems, including brake failures or defective airbags that can explode.
"When it comes to safety recalls, overlooking or ignoring them can put lives at risk," said Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief at听CARFAX. "The good news is that checking for open recalls is fast and simple with our free online tools, like at , and repairs are always free for consumers. Every driver should know their vehicle's status and act without delay."
