HIGHLAND, Ind. - March 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Bosak Honda Highland is proud to support Honda as they champion the creation of a new law to increase repair rates of vehicles with recalls. By requiring any outstanding recalls on a vehicle be performed before legally registering said vehicle in a state, Honda hopes to make marked improvements in the percentage of successful recall repairs.

The bill was introduced recently by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey, with Rick Schostek, Honda's Executive Vice President, explaining their objective: "Our goal is to achieve a 100 percent repair rate for every recall in order to prevent injuries and save lives, and this legislation will help achieve that. We look forward to working with Senators Markey and Blumenthal, the Congress and other safety stakeholders as this proposal works its way through the legislative process.”

This may seem like an inconsequential bill to some, but the truth is that about a third of the motor vehicles on the streets of the United States are in need of a recall for safety defects.

Newer vehicles often have higher recall completion rates, but it can take a few years for some issues to be spotted, and it is these older models that are so rarely repaired. As of now, Honda has sent out millions of repair notices for their Takata airbag recall, but many of the ruptures are occurring in vehicles that are at least 10 years old.

As part of Honda's ongoing commitment to driver safety, they are encouraging all Honda drivers to contact their local dealerships and bring their vehicle(s) in for any potential repairs.

For more information on the coming legislation, how it affects Indiana drivers, and whether or not a certain model or year of Honda vehicle has a recall on it, readers can contact the service team at Bosak Honda Highland.
