SaferCar is a useful app that provides information on automotive safety recalls directly from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This organization handles numerous recalls each year, including vehicles, tires, car seats, and other equipment. By using SaferCar, you can receive notifications about any recalls that may impact your vehicles or gear as long as the app is running in the background. You can input multiple Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) for all of your vehicles, such as cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles. Additionally, you can add other automotive items like tires, car seats, or trailers for monitoring. You have the option to receive notifications on your mobile device for each vehicle or product added. Moreover, SaferCar provides NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings and online tools to help you choose the right car seat. The app demonstrates how to use a car seat correctly and ensure it is installed properly. Overall, SaferCar offers valuable features for enhancing automotive safety.

In order to protect your privacy, NHTSA does not store any device or VIN information on a server for sending recall alerts. Therefore, SaferCar must operate discreetly in the background and consistently monitor for any recall updates on your device. However, it is important to note that if you ever force stop SaferCar, be sure to reopen it immediately to ensure you receive all important recall notifications.

SaferCar is a great app for people who want to stay informed about car safety recalls. Simply enter your VIN and other information, and you will receive notifications about any recalls that could impact your vehicle or equipment. The app also offers additional helpful features such as NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings and online resources for car seats, allowing you to make informed decisions regarding your safety.
