Combatting recall fatigue: NHTSA makes it easy to see if your car is recalled

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- There have been a slew of automobile recalls in 2014 -- and it's a challenge to keep track of them all.

Now, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has launched a new website that allows you to check the recall status of your vehicle! All you need is your car's vehicle identification number or VIN. The new website is: SaferCar.gov

NHTSA launched the site because the agency believes too many Americans were subject to "recall fatigue" and were no longer paying attention to the news.
