In the United States alone, tens of millions of vehicles, car seats, tires and other equipment are recalled every year.
We know because at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration we set and enforce vehicle safety standards. And, when vehicles and related equipment have safety defects, we manage the recalls

Now, thanks to our new SaferCar smartphone app, we can immediately notify you when a safety recall is issued, so you’ll know what to do and how to get the recall fixed for free. This essential safety recall information empowers you to keep you and your passengers safe.

Also, with the SaferCar app, you’ll be able to easily access our online tools, such as NHTSA’s 5-Star Safety Ratings, car seat finder and car seat inspection locator.
