What are Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and Information Relating to TSBs and Car Recalls

Technical Service Bulletins, or TSBs as they are alternately called, are advisory letters issued by car manufacturers to automotive dealerships to help their technicians resolve problems with a specific make and model of automobile. The TSB helps to ensure a smooth and efficient process when car recalls become necessary. For example, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) acts as a mediator between the automobile consumer and automobile manufacturer relaying to the manufacturer that it must notify the consumer of a possible defect in a certain type of vehicle.

The TSB is a way for the car manufacturer to relay repair-related information to the automobile dealership. It also serves as the authorizing mechanism for dealership repairs when the consumer brings a car in for the prescribed service.

When looking to find out additional information regarding automobile recalls and Technical Service Bulletins you should utilize the Internet where you can find the most current and accurate information. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website can be particularly useful if you are seeking out this type of information. This website details a variety of automobile safety issues but more specifically, issues relating to TSBs and automobile recalls.

The NHTSA website allows visitors to access the car recall and TSB databases where they can pull up information regarding their specific make and model of automobile to determine its recall status. The website also goes into extensive detail about what type of TSB and/or recall was issued and outlines the extent of the problem.

Another way in which to learn about information regarding TSBs and automobile recalls is to go directly to the car manufacturer’s website. Often a car company will post important information on its website as it is a great way to disseminate information to the consumer masses. Depending on the car company, you will most likely be able to enter your make and model information on the website page and you will be met with information relating to any recalls which exist for a specific type of vehicle.

The website may even post additional information about how to remedy the car defect and the importance of doing so at your earliest convenience. Of course, CarJunky.Com is also an excellent resource for information gathering.
