According to the Federal Communications Commission, auto warranty robocalls are the most common telephone scam in America. The agency receives more complaints about extended car warranty scams than about any other subject.

Simply put, never respond to a phone call about a car warranty unless you placed the call. Scammers may even know what type of vehicle you drive. In some states, that information is public and easy to obtain. But no reputable car warranty company will ever call you to offer you a plan.

Recalls for the week:

• Volvo 2001-07 V70s and XC70s Wagons: Faulty Airbag Inflators To resolve this potentially deadly issue, dealers will replace the driver-side airbag for free. Volvo will begin notifying owners Dec. 14, but those with additional questions can call the automaker at 800-458-1552
• Ram 2021-22 2500 and 3500 HD pickups, as well as 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs, and all are equipped with the Cummins 6.7-liter turbo-diesel engine are being recalled for Fire Risk. Ram advises that owners whose trucks are equipped with the affected engine and produced between Aug. 2, 2020, and Oct. 9, 2021, should not park indoors. No remedy has yet been announced, but owners will be notified starting Dec. 3. Those with questions can call Ram parent automaker Stellantis at 800-853-1403
