Many vehicle owners may be eligible for no-cost repairs due to open recalls. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported a large number of recalls last year, affecting a significant number of cars.

Vehicle owners can check if their car has an open recall by visiting a government website. They will need to provide their vehicle's unique identifier to see if any recalls are listed.

Further information on the recall process and how to check for open recalls is available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website.
