Check to Protect

GHSA partners with the National Safety Council to spread the word that it’s important to check your vehicle’s recall status and schedule a free repair.

How Does it Work?

Drivers can enter their vehicle identification number at checktoprotect.org or directly on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website for a full report of their vehicle's recall status. The 17-digit VIN can be found in the lower left corner of a vehicle’s windshield, on the inside of the driver-side door, on the vehicle registration card and possibly on insurance documents. Getting a recall repaired is free of charge to the vehicle owner.
