JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas –
Military Surface Deployment and Distribution at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., has put out an advisory announcing that prior to turning a privately owned vehicle, or POV, into a vehicle processing shipment, or VPC, customers must ensure their vehicle does not have any unresolved “recall notice.”
Vehicle owners can verify if their vehicles have a recall notice by visiting https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/. Customers should also print a report (documented proof) from this website on the status of recalls associated with their vehicle.
Effective April 1, customers must provide documented proof that there are no open recalls to the VPC during turn-in before it will accept the vehicle for shipment. If the recall cannot be corrected due to a lack of parts from the original manufacturer or due to a lack of mechanical ability in the geographical area, the customer should contact their servicing VPC for assistance on how to ship their vehicle.
