The announcement yesterday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the massive expansion of the Takata airbag recall has hundreds of thousands of car owners racing to the website to check whether their vehicles are affected by the largest consumer product recall in U.S. history. NHTSA is warning visitors to its site that it may take several days to gather and input all of the VINs associated with this recall. If you experience difficulty on the NHTSA website, try searching on your manufacturer’s website as well:
-
BMW
-
Chrysler
-
Ford
-
General Motors
-
Nissan
Wondering where to find your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)? Look on the inside of the driver’s side door, on or under the dashboard, and/or on your insurance card. Finally, remember to check back frequently with NHTSA and/or on your manufacturer’s website in the coming days and weeks as they continue to process all the data pouring in from Takata.
