What’s your favorite vehicle accessory? I’m not talking about cruise control or air conditioning - most everyone’s got that. Does your van have a vacuum? Do you have a special cell phone holder?  Between vehicle repair questions we'll learn what our listeners like!

No recalls for the week. But some news: Faulty Takata Airbag Responsible for 19th U.S. Death – a 2002 Honda Accord had been under recall since 2011.

You can find out if your car has a past recall by going to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and inputting your VIN number. Or find their SaferCar app.

In the news: WLOX on the coast reported Thieves are steeling catalytic converters because they contain precious metals. They can sell them to scrap yards for up to $200. They can get them off in a minute. The only thing to do is watch your car.
