Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?
April 21, 2019
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 Sterling Heights residents and to fix the affected vehicles free of charge. The they try to contact all Sterling Heights residents who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their Sterling Heights service center.

Recalls are pretty serious for Sterling Heights residents and don't happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that Sterling Heights 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 Sterling Heights service centers (including Sterling Tire & Auto) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult.
Your Sterling Heights service center receives updated information through subscription plans, which are sometimes available in consumer versions too.
