Auto Correct: Vehicle Information


Listen Later

Where do you get your vehicle information? Besides us? How about your vehicle’s owner’s manual. You might have gloves, coins, old traffic tickets and such in your glove compartment but I also hope you’ve got your owner’s manual. We’ll talk about vehicle information sources between your repair questions.

  • 2021-22 Bronco SUVs — a rearview camera image that doesn’t disappear after shifting back into Drive.

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.
