Auto Correct: Brakes and buses Encore
After getting your vehicle to “go” getting it to “stop” is pretty important. Rotors, pads, calipers – oh, my. Today is about brakes. Some say the repairs are ones you could do yourself. If you’re a better driver maybe you don’t need repairs as often?
Recalls for the week:
VW Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport SUVs for Airbag Issue - To fix the problem, dealers will repair the drain tube and replace the airbag control module for free. Owners will receive an interim notification of the safety risk starting Jan. 14, 2022, and they’ll receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. For further information, owners can call VW at 800-893-5298
You can find out if your car has a past recall by going to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and inputting your VIN number. Or find their SaferCar app.
In addition to truck driver shortage, there’s a school bus driver shortage. One school in Massachusetts had to cancel classes before Thanksgiving because there weren’t enough school bus drivers.
