Thousands of vehicles are recalled each year because of unsafe or unstable vehicle conditions. In August 2010, more than 207,000 General Motors (GM) vehicles, manufacturer of Chevrolet vehicles, were recalled because of an improper latch of second-row seat belts. Consequently, even the most conscientious driver might experience anxiety while operating a vehicle. Fortunately, automobile owners can access resources alerting consumers about vehicle recalls.
