Many vehicles are currently under recall, which could result in free repairs for their owners. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued nearly 1,000 recalls last year, affecting over 29 million cars. To check if a vehicle has an open recall, owners can visit a government website and enter their vehicle's identification number.

This number can be found on the windshield. Further information on the recall process and how to check for open recalls is available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website. Checking for recalls can potentially save drivers money on repairs.
