What to Do When a Dodge Recall Is Issued

October 17th, 2024 by

Don’t panic when you get a Dodge recall notice. Any maintenance as a result of a recall is totally covered, so there’s no reason to put off visiting our Dodge service center at Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM. Here’s what you need to know when you get a recall notice.

How Do I Learn About a Dodge Recall?

If your manufacturer puts out a recall on your vehicle, you will be notified by mail at your address. This letter will cover what is causing the recall, what options are available to you, and what the risks are of continuing to drive the car. If the letter includes a “do not drive” warning, you shouldn’t even drive your car to the dealership for repair – immediately stop driving it and have it towed in for repair.

What Can Happen with a Recall?

When a recall is issued, the manufacturer has three options: they can offer maintenance to fix the issue, replacements for the part, or, very rarely, a refund. If you repair an issue before the recall goes out, you can apply for reimbursement, depending on the time range. No matter how a recall is addressed, it won’t cost you anything.

Can I Ignore a Recall?

Nobody will force you to get service after a recall, but putting it off can cost you. Skipping service can lead to higher insurance premiums or even your company rejecting your claim outright. And if your recall is due to a safety concern, continuing to drive can be dangerous.
