Why should I run a Volvo Recall Check?

A vehicle that is part of a recall may be unsafe to drive. Running a recall check alerts you if there are any active recalls on your Volvo car. Safety issues must be addressed on both new and used cars to prevent accidents on the road.

  1. Check for Volvo safety defects. Unrepaired safety recalls pose a large risk to vehicle occupants and pedestrians.
  2. Check for Volvo compliance to federal safety standards. You’re responsible for making sure that your vehicle meets the minimum safety standards to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
  3. Avoid getting scammed. If you’re shopping for a used Volvo car, it’s a good idea to check for recalls. Protect yourself from purchasing a car that has been recalled.
  4. Determine if your vehicle is safe to drive. If your vehicle needs recall work, make sure the affected vehicle is safe to drive while awaiting repairs.
