Vehicle Recall FAQ - Augusta, ME

How urgent are recall repairs for Augusta vehicles?

Recall urgency varies based on specific systems involved.

What if recall parts aren't available for my Augusta vehicle?

During major recall campaigns, parts availability occasionally affects service timing. If specific components aren't immediately available for your vehicle, we register you in the manufacturer's parts priority system, provide regular updates on expected timelines, and offer maintenance recommendations if temporary operating limitations apply while traveling Augusta roads.
