No. It is incumbent on the manufacturer to identify and rectify all roadworthy vehicles that have a potential safety issue. Of course, it is more difficult for the manufacturer to find vehicles that have changed ownership, if the subsequent owners do not get their servicing done by a main dealer. In those cases the manufacturer contacts the DMV (VOSA in UK) and chases the vehicle ownership through them. To short circuit the process you can look on the manufacturers website to see if there are any outstanding recalls pertaining to your model. Your local dealer should be able to look up your VIN on their system to see if any recalls are outstanding for your vehicle.

Is there a recall on the 1999 Mercury 200 outboard motor?

Several technical bulletins are generally issued for outboards each year, a recall however, is sent to each registered owner of the outboards involved, for customer awareness. I would contact a Mercury dealer to see if the motor in question was included in a recall campaign. If you are not the original owner, it can be determined if this particular engine had a recall issued, and if so, if the nessessary changes / repairs have already been addressed by the previous owner.

Is there a formula to determine when to stop making repairs and purchase a newer vechicle?

After $ 5000.00 in repairs depending on the year of the vehicle, once your into $ 10,000.00 you may as well get another car or truck, if you can afford a newer vehicle, trade it in and take any vehicle that works, until you can afford a better vehicle, buy a used vehicle from original owner only. Alot of vehicles with 50,000 miles on it are still good cars if it from the original owner.


How do you take possession of a co owned vehicle?

A co-owned vehicle can be taken into possession by either owner at anytime they wish...If the co-owner has a key to the vehicle then they can legally get in and drive the vehicle...If the co-owner does not have a key then they must have a copy of the certificate of title,the registration or other proof of ownership and then the vehicle can be towed. Also if the vehicle was manufactured in the last 12 years and the co-owner does not have a key they can take the proof of ownership to a local dealership and request a copy of that vehicles original key,then go and take possession of the vehicle.


Who is responsible when the driver of the vehicle was excluded from the insurance policy?

Car insurance typically follows the owner of the vehicle, not the driver. In the cae of an "excluded driver", unless that driver has his own policy that assumes coverage for a "borrowed" car, the original vehicle owner would be considered pursuable as an uninsured motorist.

How do obtain a title to a vehicle if i discover there is a lien on it. I have the bill of sale and was misled by the owner?

The owner cannot sell the vehicle without signing the original title. A bill of sale is not an official ownership document for any motor vehicle - only the state issue title can suffice for that. You have been duped - and need to return the vehicle to the owner and demand your money back. If they refuse, you may have a claim to stake in small claims court. Without that original title (which the owner obviously does not have) ownereship cannot be transferred to another person, especially without the lien holders signature. The agency holding the lien is the only one who can offer this vehicle for sale as they hold the title. If the registered owner cannot provide you with that original title of ownership, then they don't own the car at all and it is not theirs to sell in the first place.
