Hi, this is Bill Sikkens, host of User
friendly
2
:
2.0 Saturdays here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
:
Just like anything else, as our cars
become more computerized
4
:
and more complicated,
there are more things that can go wrong.
5
:
And it seems like
we are seeing a lot of recalls this year
6
:
on various things, from power
steering failures to other stuff
7
:
that could make your driving experience
not so good or even dangerous.
8
:
It's important to stay on top of this,
and there are several apps out there
9
:
that will allow you to do that.
10
:
Check for recalls and you can keep
track of your service history.
11
:
Carfax has one,
and there's a number of other good
12
:
apps out there that can just really help
13
:
you get through these things
and give you a warning.
14
:
Should your car come up
on the recall list,
15
:
they are supposed to send out notification
where you get a letter,
16
:
but if an address is off or something
goes wrong, you may not see that
17
:
and may not know that there's a problem
18
:
until it fails in your car
and it's not safe to wait that out.
19
:
As we go into the holidays, it's time
to make sure our vehicles are ready to go.
20
:
Winter weather, driving seasons
just coming up right after that.
21
:
So it's a good idea
to keep an eye on top of these things.
