Our auto shop management and invoicing program links to CarFax. One thing that does is it tells us if there are outstanding safety recalls on vehicles we work on, and we put this on the sheet and inform people while here so they can check with the dealer. We always recommend the person get recalls performed asap.
Recently we worked low-mile 2007 Ford Fusion for a nearby business owner. The vehicle was flagged with an airbag recall and we let him know. Two weeks later I am driving to work at 6am and see Ambaum Blvd SW closed off by fire and aid at the Ambaum Cutoff Road, with a large traffic accident response.
Some days later I had occasion to call this business owner on a flooring product order I made at his business. He informed me he was in that wreck when someone blew a stop sign and he subsequently required emergency femur reconstruction surgery. To save gory detail, suffice it to say his life is forever changed.
Curiosity has me wondering if the airbag recall was performed, however it was the last thing on my mind when we talked and out of compassion I would not ask.
Does your vehicle have any outstanding safety recalls? You can call a dealer service department with your VIN # to find out.

I have an I-1439 initiative sheet at the shop if anyone would like to sign it during biz hours.
It seeks to make WA state's mandatory long term care deduction from your pay optional instead of required if you deem it a bad deal for yourself.

I have some of the coolest customers!
I come out of the shop and I find these little squirrels out front putting in some fall colors.
I am truly blessed!

Engine was allowed to run out of oil.
Pieces of piston smashed spark plug. Otherwise usable car going to the wrecking yard.
When an engine is allowed to run out of oil, it's not like running out of gas.
Running out of fuel, you can refill and be on your way.
Running out of oil can cause catastrophic damage.
