Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

Separate what happened from theories about its cause. Administrative complaints do not replace professional safety checks.

Who is this guide for?

Owners reporting possible defects, recalls, safety systems or garage service.

!
Conditions and exceptions

Stop unsafe use and contact the appropriate professional or emergency service where danger exists. Do not wait for a complaint response to assess driving safety.
