What users are saying

1. Nevertheless car owners should be aware about their car's safety recall.I got to say it's really easy to find tire info your year make and Model of car and what not I haven't tried the other features yet but the Scanning of the Car's Vin should be easier if there isn't a lot of light outside but that's just my only nitpick with it! But if you need a Portable way to check recalls on your car carseats Tires or Equipment look no further! It's a Great AppThe video on their website states that you can scan your VIN.

2. But multiple vehicles, no problem.User friendly, accurate, effective, resourceful! LOVE that it takes the hassle & worry out of checking recalls, and for free! It simplifies life by alerting you on cars you register with them (if selected).I added this app after being on a search on Google Chrome.

3. Not sure what all the complaining is about, I had no troubles at all entering my vehicle and my wife's vehicle with the bar code scanner, they must have fixed it or.... would have given 5 stars but I'm waiting for my notification for the fix on my truck to show up first, just to be sure it's working.

4. It won't let me put the year of my car because it's the 1997 when I downloaded this app and tried to put my car information in it's telling me there's no information to call some some 800 number if I can't use the app the way it's meant to be used then it's not useful to me at all so I guess I'm uninstalling it you don't need to contact me I'm not interested and I will not put it back on my phoneI just updated it today and still having problems with it.

5. You should be able to scan a VIN without having to enter vehicle information first.

6. As I said before it's showing the wrong info plus now it's showing a recall and then it goes away like it had a glitch please fix thank youEasy install but lacking in esthetics and features.

7. This app does not work! I could not find my vehicle it only gives two options.

8. [Edit] Thank you for the quick response awesome app!Credit Karma "Car" info gives recall & other info.

9. I haven't tried adding any vehicle peripherals yet either.

10. I haven't received one since 2016.Why can't I add vehicles by VIN? Two vehicles of the same year, make, and model can have different recalls.

11. For some reason you have enter a vague description of the vehicle before you get to the VIN scanning capability.
