DOT Announces New SaferCar App

The U.S. Department of Transportation announced a new SaferCar app for iPhones, iPad and iPod Touch devices.

The new SaferCar app and SaferCar.gov website, operated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, allow consumers to look for a variety of safety information.

“The app allows users to search its 5-Star Safety Ratings for vehicles by make and model, locate car seat installation help, file a vehicle safety complaint, find recall information, and subscribe to automatic notices about vehicle recalls,” DOT said in a statement.
