During an otherwise busy week here in #DC (you know, #Inauguration2021 and all) it's a quiet #recall week. We'll be back next week with updates on new auto recalls. Until then, you can sign up at https://t.co/iPdvBDG92i for custom reports on the make, model & year of your car. https://t.co/8sSqsmFDnn
