Recall Check

How long does a recall repair take?

Most recall fixes take one to two hours at the dealer. Software recalls can take under 30 minutes, and some are done over the air.

When a recall is new, parts may not be ready yet. The automaker will send a second letter when the fix is available.

Ask the dealer to order parts when you book so the visit is short.
