January 23, 2015
No matter how well they're made, vehicles in Sterling Heights, Michigan will have design or manufacturing problems.
And when the government thinks a problem is really serious for people in Sterling Heights, Michigan, they require the car maker to issue a recall notice and fix the car free of charge. The vehicle manufacturer then tries to contact everyone in Sterling Heights, Michigan who owns that type of car to get the recall work done. Perhaps you have received a postcard notifying you of a recall issue on your car. Because these recalls always affect safety, Sterling Heights car owners should take them seriously. This isn't difficult to do because it's easy to see if a vehicle's being recalled.
The government has links on its websites, or just visit AutoNetTV for links. There are many websites with free recall information and searches. There's CarFax, AutoByTel and the DMV.
Recalls are serious, but not all that common. But sometimes there are less important issues, and for these, auto makers issue a Technical Service Bulletin, or TSB, that tells service centers like Sterling Tire & Auto how to repair a frequent or difficult problem.
