Examples
I typed my VIN into the site, and it seems my car has more recalls than a politician has broken campaign promises.
Checking for a Ford recall on the NHTSA website has become my favorite hobby, mostly because it keeps my mailbox filled with something other than bills.
The joy of a new Ford is only matched by the thrill of receiving a recall notice that tells me my front seat might decide to move on its own accord.
