If your vehicle has been affected by a Ford recall, don’t worry. We’re here to help you every step of the way, from educating you about the recall to making the necessary fixes at no cost to you. Here’s what you should know about the entire process from your friends at Ford of Cookeville.

How to Know if Your Vehicle is Included in a Ford Recall

Ford will generally notify the vehicle’s registered owner by mail when their vehicle is affected by a recall. You can also proactively check for open recalls using your VIN on Ford’s Recall page or through the Ford app. Because Ford recalls are VIN-specific, checking your VIN is the best way to determine whether your particular vehicle has an open recall. You can also do this with the NHTSA recall lookup tool.

We understand that waiting to hear if your car, truck, SUV, or van is affected by a recall can be frustrating, so don’t hesitate to contact our dealership before you receive your letter or app notification. We’ll be happy to look up your information and let you know if you need a recall-related service appointment.

Setting Up Your Ford Recall Service Appointment

Drivers who have confirmed that their vehicle is affected by a Ford recall have a few options. You can use our online service scheduler, which is available to you 24/7. In some cases, we can even pick up your vehicle and bring it back to you once it’s repaired. For the utmost convenience, ask our team if the service you need is eligible for Ford Mobile Service.
