AAA Applauds Launch of Vehicle Identification Number Recall Database

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "AAA applauds the launch of the NHTSA vehicle identification database that enables consumers to identify the status of any vehicle recall by Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The huge volume of recalls from automobile makers just this year clearly points to the need for better consumer access to data related to the safety of their vehicle. If accurately maintained by OEMs, the database will provide a single-source tool to help millions of motorists more easily find recall information. The information will also inform prospective automobile purchasers of unresolved recalls. This will go a long way in helping consumers ensure their vehicle is safe to drive."

As North America's largest motoring and leisure travel organization, AAA provides more than 53 million members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive-related services. Since its founding in 1902, the not-for-profit, fully tax-paying AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. AAA clubs can be visited on the Internet at AAA.com.
