With more than 34 million vehicles recalled by Takata and millions of other cars recalled because of safety defects involving the ignition and steering systems, among others, many American families have been affected. It is vital that everyone who owns a vehicle evaluate whether all of the vehicles in their household have been recalled or not. If the vehicles have been recalled, motorists should take steps to begin and complete the repairs as soon as possible. Your life and those of your loved ones may depend on it. If you have been involved in an auto accident involving a defective vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation. Attorneys at O'Connor, Acciani & Levy are currently reviewing accidents involving recalled vehicles.
Auto Recall Safety Steps
