## Checking for Recalls

Recalls are issued when a safety issue or defect is discovered. You can check for recalls on your vehicle by **VIN** on the NHTSA website (safercar.gov) or by **contacting our Service team at Genesis of Downers Grove**-we can look up your specific vehicle's recall status for free.

## What to Do

If a recall affects your vehicle, don't ignore it. Recalls are always **fixed at no cost to you**, even if your warranty has expired. Schedule an appointment with our Service department to have the fix completed. Most recalls are quick and straightforward.

## Next Steps

We proactively monitor recalls for our customers and often reach out when one applies. If you're concerned about your vehicle or want a recall check, **call (630) 598-9950** to speak with our Service advisors. We'll ensure your Genesis is safe and compliant.
