Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Utilimaster dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 13V316000).

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
