The NHTSA just launched the SaferCar app for iPhone and iPod Touch
devices, which can be downloaded from Apple’s iTunes Store. Development
of the Android version is underway. The SaferCar app gives you immediate
access to key safety information to help you make informed decisions, with
features including:
Help with car seats: The app helps you ensure
your most precious passengers ride safely. Quickly get driving directions to
the nearest child seat inspection station and get assistance to properly
install car seats and boosters.
Information for buying a car: Access our 5-Star
Safety Ratings and compare them across different makes and models—right in the
dealer’s lot.
Stay connected: Stay on top of safety issues for
vehicles you already own. Use the app to register a vehicle and we will notify
you if we find it has a safety issue. The SaferCar app also makes it simple to
submit complaints to NHTSA regarding possible safety problems with your car.
Safety Headlines and Alerts: Download the App
and receive important news and information from NHTSA, as well as recall
notices and push notices on your recorded vehicles.
Earlier this
year, they also updated resources on the SaferCar.gov website to enable consumers
to quickly locate information on specific safety defect investigations,
complaints and vehicle recalls.
