Jaguar Recall Check and Service in Columbus, Ohio

Every vehicle manufacturer has to deal with recalls. It’s something that everyone would prefer to avoid, but since recalls do happen, it’s good to have a system in place to deal with them. Much of this is done at the dealership level, both in helping to get the word out to impacted customers and also in actually performing the recalls, and that’s where Jaguar Easton comes in.

What Is A Recall?

A recall happens when some sort of defect is discovered only after the vehicle has gone on sale and customers have taken it home. Sometimes this happens right away, a few days after a new model goes on sale, sometimes it takes weeks or months, and sometimes even years. These can result from either issues with the design itself, or is sometimes the result of a problem with a third-party parts supplier.

Ideally, these issues are caught by the manufacturer, so that steps can be taken to correct it right away. But sometimes the problem is less obvious, and the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) or other governmental body will catch it first. But there is no difference in the urgency of these issues, no matter who discovered the problem, and you should schedule a service appointment immediately.

How Do I Know If My Vehicle Is Affected?

Manufacturers will send out letters to alert owners of recalls. This isn’t a totally foolproof system though, so sometimes there are emails sent out as well. But the best way for you as the consumer to know that you’re in the clear is to use the online tool that Jaguar offers on their website.
