653,000 Vehicles Affected by Auto Safety Recalls

September has been a big month for car recalls, as multiple major automakers including General Motors (GM), Ford, Kia, and Daimler Trucks, have been affected. Recalls issued by The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) impact nearly 653,000 total vehicles due to potential safety hazards. Safety hazards include issues with faulty brakes and electrical system malfunctions.

Personal injury Attorney Miguel Custodio says, “Staying informed on the most recent car recalls can really mean the difference between life and death. Even a minor defect can lead to serious accidents and injuries. By staying up to date on recalls, and getting those necessary repairs you can protect yourself, your passengers, and others on the road. Safety should always be the top priority and addressing recalls is a key part of that responsibility.”
