National Highway Traffic Safety Administration designates the week leading up to daylight saving time change as Vehicle Safety Recalls Week | March 4 - 10, 2024. Traditionally, this day has been a cue to check smoke detector batteries as you change your clocks. You should also make it a habit to check for vehicle safety recalls when daylight saving time begins and ends.
Vehicle Safety Recalls Week
The Stakes
In 2023, there were 1,000 recalls for vehicles, car seats, tires, RVs and other equipment. More than 34 million vehicles were recalled in the United States. Yet, millions of vehicle recalls go unrepaired or unaddressed every year.
Vehicle Safety Recalls Week coincides with the week leading up to daylight saving time. Traditionally, this day has been a cue to check smoke detector batteries as you change your clocks. You should also make it a habit to check for vehicle safety recalls when daylight saving time begins and ends.
You should check for open recalls at least twice a year because hundreds of recalls are issued each year and some recalls are updated.
