ALBANY, N.Y. (WKTV) — Drivers are being urged to check their vehicles for safety recalls as part of Vehicle Safety Recalls Week in New York.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Safety Recalls Week runs from March 2-8.<\/p>\n

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles highlighted that one out of every five cars on the road in 2024 had an open recall, including more than 2 million in New York.<\/p>\n

Light trucks had the highest recall rates with 24% needing repairs, while 23% of minivans and 21% of cars were also affected.<\/p>\n

The DMV website offers an online tool to help drivers find open recalls and get information on how to fix or replace parts for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Drivers will need their license plate number or Vehicle Identification Number, which can be found on their registration, insurance card, dashboard or doorjamb.<\/p>\n

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2024, there were 1,073 recalls for vehicles, car seats, tires, RVs and other equipment, affecting more than 29 million vehicles nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AP ALBANY, N.Y.
