Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?

September 19, 2021

Recalls are pretty serious for Appleton residents and don't happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that Appleton residents still might want to know about. For these less serious cases, the vehicle manufacturer issues what is known as a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB. These bulletins tell Appleton service centers (including Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult.

Your Appleton service center receives updated information through subscription plans, which are sometimes available in consumer versions too.

Whatever your source, pay attention to Appleton vehicle recalls to keep you and your passengers safe.

No matter how well they're made, vehicles are bound to have problems with their design or manufacturing. Think of all the moving parts. When the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the vehicle manufacturer to issue recall notices to Appleton residents and to fix the affected vehicles free of charge. The they try to contact all Appleton residents who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their Appleton service center.
