Commentary
When a defective part leads to an injury accident or fatal accident the manufacturer may bear civil liability for the consequences of such an accident. Due to that factor automobile makers and other manufacturers issue recalls in efforts to mitigate the opportunities for such accidents to occur. Consequently its important that you check with your dealership or car manufacturers website from time to time in order to ensure that your vehicle has not had a recall in the recent past.
