The road may look calm, but hidden danger often rides right beside everyday drivers in the form of unrepaired vehicle recalls. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, people who receive notifications about a recall on their car only get the issue fixed 75% of the time. Recall completion for older vehicles is even lower at 50%. This means that there are a surprising number of recalled vehicles on the road that may have never had their problems addressed, creating potentially dangerous situations for other drivers.
Honestly, Americans are generally tired of receiving recall notices. There seems to be a new, huge recall every few months. As a result, many people are choosing to just ignore them. But it could mean you (or the driver next to you) are driving around a ticking time bomb.
