Recalls are issued when a safety issue is discovered. Hyundai and NHTSA (the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) take them seriously, and all recall work is free.

**How to check:**
1. **Visit NHTSA.gov** and enter your vehicle's VIN in the recall lookup tool.
2. **Check your Hyundai account** if you registered your vehicle with Hyundai.
3. **Call us:** Castle Hyundai Oak Lawn's Service team can look up recalls using your VIN.

**What happens:**
You'll receive a notice in the mail with instructions. Hyundai covers all repair costs-no charge to you. Recalls are typically quick and done during a routine service appointment.

**Why act quickly:** Safety recalls address real risks. Addressing them promptly protects you and your family, and maintains your vehicle's resale value.

**Take action:** If you've received a recall notice or want to be sure your vehicle is clear, call (708) 422-9300 and speak with our Service department. We'll schedule your recall service at a time that's convenient for you. Visit us at 9121 S Cicero Ave, Oak Lawn.
