Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are issued by vehicle manufacturers to help automotive technicians diagnose and repair problems reported by consumers and repair shops. It’s amazing how many fixes are found in these bulletins that can’t be found anywhere else. Thousands of bulletins are issued by car manufacturers every year.

TSBs contain up-to-date factory fixes for difficult to diagnose problems such as engine troubles, rough idles, intermittent stalls, hard starts, and all kinds of “shakes”, “rattles” and “clunks” that can sometimes drive you nuts. TSBs describe service procedures that may improve performance, reduce future breakdowns, or show a factory authorized modification for your vehicle.

The TSB and auto recalls titles for your make, model and year of car and gives you an instant overview of the types of TSBs and Automobile Recalls on your vehicle. These descriptive titles can be used to narrow down your search within a recall database, or you can go directly to your automotive technician.

Automotive manufacturers issue Official Safety Automobile Recalls Notices (Like Ford, GM, Saturn, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler, Dodge, Honda, Chevrolet, Lexus recalls) to inform vehicle owners of car defects that have come to the manufacturer’s attention. Automobile Recalls also suggest improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a particular vehicle. Oftentimes this recall work can be performed by your car dealer for free. Knowing what recall notices have been issued on your vehicle helps you keep your vehicle in the best and safest working order.

Many times car owners don’t receive the recalls, due to a change of car ownership or negligence of the car owner.
