Vehicle Recalls & Accident Liability: What You Must Know

When a vehicle part fails, it can lead to serious crashes. But what if that part was already recalled? Here's what drivers need to know about liability.

Understanding Vehicle Recalls

A recall happens when a car manufacturer finds a defect that could cause safety issues or accidents.

Parts That Often Get Recalled

Brakes, airbags, seat belts, steering systems, and tires are among the most commonly recalled components.

Can a Recall Cause a Crash?

Yes. A malfunctioning part may directly lead to a car accident, and influence who's legally responsible.

Liability in Recall-Related Accidents

Depending on the case, the manufacturer, a dealership, or even the vehicle owner could be held liable.

Your Responsibility Matters

If you knew about the recall and ignored it, you could be held partially or fully responsible for the accident.

How Lawyers Prove Recall Liability

Attorneys use maintenance records, recall notices, and expert analysis to connect the defect to the accident.

Don’t Fight Recall Claims Alone

Cases involving recalled vehicles are complex. An experienced lawyer can protect your rights and fight for fair compensation.
