Transportation Cabinet Promotes “Check To Protect” Vehicle Recall Campaign

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is sharing information about their “Check To Protect” campaign. National Vehicle Safety Recall Week is going on through March 12. In partnership with The National Safety Council, the Transportation Cabinet wants drivers to take time to check whether their vehicle is among the 1 in 5 cars and trucks with unrepaired safety recalls currently on the road in Kentucky.  “One thing we want folks to realize is that these recalls are not necessarily just about you and your vehicle. Keep in mind when those recalls are issued, they’re serious situations in a lot of cases. The safety of other motorists on the road is definitely at stake. So we want folks to be sure and check, be sure they have those recalls up to date as best as possible,’ said Transportation Cabinet Spokesperson Chris Jessie. Many recalls involve defective parts which could pose life-threatening risks to drivers and passengers. This campaign is to encourage vehicle owners to be proactive in checking their vehicle status when they get it serviced and scheduling those free repairs.
