VIN Free Check is helping people find out more information about their cars to ascertain whether they need to send it back to manufacturer in the midst of the huge Takata airbag product recall.

Walnut, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2015 -- Takata airbags were found to be unsafe for road users because the propellant they use, if exposed to moisture it can degrade and destabilize, causing the deployment to destroy the airbag and fire shrapnel into the vehicle. This fault has already caused eight deaths and hundreds of injuries. The list of vehicles being recalled seems to be expanding every day, and 83,000 Dodge Challengers have just been added to the list. VIN Free Check can help concerned drivers find out whether their own vehicle needs to be recalled, or if a vehicle they are thinking of buying is at risk of a recall.

The VIN Free Check system allows individuals to enter their unique Vehicle Identification Number in order to receive a free VIN number check report on the vehicle's history, including manufacturing details that includes information on the type of airbags installed. This information can be used to save lives, and freely and easily available through VIN Free Check.

The website allows people to use a VIN check to find out information on their car, or on cars they are thinking about buying or using. It enables them to check their history, including details of vehicle maintenance, title history, specification, accident reports, flood damage reports, odometer readings, and more, including recall information. This information can even be used for rental cars, following a recent controversy over recall disclosure.

A spokesperson for VIN Free Check explained, "Rental companies are not legally required to inform customers if they are driving a car that has had a recall issued for it, meaning they could be putting people's lives at risk. For anyone concerned about renting a vehicle, they can simply request the VIN and use our site to discover whether a vehicle has had a recall issued, and if so simply refuse the vehicle. The same can be achieved for new and used cars, as well as cars they might have bought as long ago as 20011, when the problem airbags were first installed."
