Hi there, I'm Dusty from RepairPal's Car Genius team. Promptly addressing open recalls is crucial for safety, warranty reasons, and accessing specialized tools and expertise. Avoid DIY repairs or unauthorized help for open recalls to ensure safety and avoid liability issues. Authorized dealers will complete the necessary repairs for free, using the right tools, technical know-how, and updated parts to avoid repeated failures. Fault codes require a comprehensive diagnosis beyond initial error signals. Simply replacing parts because a fault code is stored can lead to a massive and expensive headache. They're one piece of a vast puzzle, and the first rule of computers is garbage in, garbage out. Given the interconnected nature of modern vehicle systems, comprehensive diagnostics are essential for accurate repairs and to prevent misdiagnosis. This approach helps prevent unnecessary replacements, ensuring effective repairs. It'd be like treating the symptoms without determining the actual cause.
