Everybody is buying a car with bad credit, but how does a consumer keep up with all of these product recalls that could be harmful or cause a serious injury claim? Here are a few ways:
- The NHTSA oversees motor vehicles, child safety seats and tires. The Web site includes recall databases on vehicles, school buses and child safety seats. It also features a booklet answering questions on campaigns and how to file a complaint.
- Ford Motor Co. has a section of its company Web site dedicated to recall information on its products.
- Consumeraffairs.com keeps updated lists of recall categories.
