It's my pleasure to welcome you here at the Clark Howard Show where it's all about you

and that wall of the yours.

I want you to learn ideas to me so you can save more and spend less and don't let you

whenever rip you off our websites, Clark.com and ClarkDeals.com.

So do you know that there are so many recalls on vehicles that we never deal with, things

that could be actual serious safety defects that could cost you or a loved one his or her

life and we either don't know about it or don't get around to it.

So I saw an item in the Detroit Free Press that of the vehicles on the road get this

is a shocking number.

53 million vehicles were recalled last year.

That's unbelievable.

53 million.

And some of these things are pitily, others are life and death kind of things and we just

don't seem to with all the noise of our lives.

We don't seem to know a lot of times that there is a situation involving one of our vehicles

and it goes blissfully unrepair until ignorance is no longer bliss and it ends up hurting

somebody or worse.

So I got two messages for you.

One, I want you to know about defects in a vehicle you have and it's really easy for

you to know because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is the federal

agency that oversees vehicle safety has a new smartphone app.

They're totally free.
