That one website that checks if your car has an open safety recall

Why it's the pick

Enter your VIN or license plate on NHTSA's site and it tells you if your car has a safety recall that hasn't been fixed yet; it also checks car seats, tires and other equipment. Free and US-only; recall repairs are free at the dealer.
