Understanding Vehicle Recalls

Automotive recalls are more common than many consumers realize. They represent a manufacturer's commitment to safety by:

  • Addressing potential safety issues proactively
  • Providing no-cost repairs for identified problems

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) oversees all vehicle recalls in the United States to ensure manufacturers address safety concerns appropriately.

Why Window Safety Matters

Power window systems have specific safety requirements because:

  • They generate significant closing force (typically 100+ pounds)
  • Can cause serious injury if malfunctioning
  • Are particularly important for child safety

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118 mandates that all power windows must include automatic reversal systems to prevent injuries.
