How Do You Know If Your Vehicle Has Been Recalled?
Your vehicle MAY be involved in a safety recall which MAY create a safety risk for you or your passengers. If not repaired, a potential safety defect could lead to injury or even death. Safety defects must be repaired by a dealer at no cost to you. To find out if your vehicle is included in the recall, please use the NHTSA’s VIN Look-up Tool.
What Is A Vehicle Recall?
When a manufacturer or the NHTSA determines that a vehicle creates an unreasonable risk to safety or fails to meet minimum safety standards, the manufacturer is required to fix that vehicle at no cost to the owner. The fix, or repair, can be accomplished by repairing, replacing, offering a refund (for equipment) or, in rare cases, repurchasing the car/vehicle.
What Should I Do If My Vehicle Is Included In This Recall?
If your vehicle is included in a specific recall, it is very important that you get it fixed as soon as possible given the potential danger to you and your passengers if it is not addressed. You should receive a separate letter in the mail from the vehicle manufacturer, notifying you of the recall and explaining when the remedy will be available, whom to contact to repair your vehicle, and to remind you that the repair will be done at no charge to you. If you believe your vehicle is included in the recall, but you do not receive a letter in the mail from the vehicle manufacturer, please call NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236, or contact your vehicle manufacturer or dealership.

Feb 4, 2022 | Shareholder Investigations
Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is investigating whether certain directors and officers of Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation (“DCRB” or “Decarbonization Plus”) breached their fiduciary duties to DCRB’s shareholders.
The investigation concerns whether the board of directors or senior management of DCRB, now known as Hyzon Motors Inc. (“Hyzon Motors”) (NASDAQ: HYZN), failed to manage Decarbonization Plus in an acceptable manner, in breach of their fiduciary duties to DCRB’s shareholders, and whether DCRB’s shareholders suffered damages as a result.
On July 15, 2021, DCRB shareholders of record as of June 1, 2021 approved a merger between DCRB and Hyzon Motors. On September 28, 2021, Blue Orca Capital issued a report critical of Hyzon Motors and its business prospects.
On January 12, 2022, Hyzon Motors announced that it had received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission for information, including information related to the allegations made in the Blue Orca Capital report.
The Blue Orca Capital (“Blue Orca”) report stated, among other things, that Blue Orca believes that “Hyzon’s supposed major customers are a fake-looking Chinese shell company incorporated three days before the deal announcement and a tiny New Zealand startup which told [Blue Orca] they are not really a customer.”
Blue Orca also reported that “Hyzon is just a repackaging of a flailing Chinese parent company which has been trying to sell the same hydrogen fuel cells without much success for 17 years. The parent entity was delisted from the Chinese OTC exchange in early 2021 at an enterprise value of sub $200 million. Hyzon is just a worse version of this same business in SPAC form, yet trades at 10x the valuation.”
Further, Blue Orca stated that “[n]otably for a zero revenue SPAC banking on the future value of its technology to save its business, two of Hyzon’s chief technology officers have resigned in the past 15 months. The Company is only 20 months old (emphasis in original). Ultimately, [Blue Orca] think[s] Hyzon’s parent has taken advantage of the general suspension of disbelief in financial markets to enrich insiders by repackaging an old technology in a fig leaf of misleading deal announcements and illusory customer contracts.”
FORMER DECARBONIZATION PLUS SHAREHOLDERS MAY HAVE LEGAL CLAIMS AGAINST DCRB’S DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. IF YOU WERE A DCRB SHAREHOLDER, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT MICHAEL YARNOFF, ESQ., (215) 792-6676, EXT. 804, [email protected], [email protected], TO DISCUSS THE INVESTIGATION AND POTENTIAL LEGAL CLAIMS.

Investigation On Behalf of Owners Of Beretta Firearms, Including Beretta Shotguns, Beretta Rifles, and Beretta Pistols, Assembled With a Synthetic Stock or Pistol Grip
Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is investigating potential consumer class action claims on behalf of individuals in the United States who purchased a Beretta firearm with a synthetic stock or pistol grip anytime from 1999 through January 31, 2022.
The investigation concerns whether, after several years of normal and expected use, the rubberized inserts on the synthetic stocks degrade to become extremely sticky or tacky to the touch, thereby impeding and diminishing the ability of Beretta owners to use their Beretta firearms in a manner reasonably expected. Beretta owners of these degraded stocks and fore-ends generally refer to this degradation as “Beretta sticky stock.”
U.S. Purchasers Of Beretta Firearms, Including Beretta Shotguns, Beretta Rifles, and Beretta Pistols
If you purchased a Beretta firearm with a synthetic stock or pistol grip anytime from 1999 through January 31, 2022, you are encouraged to contact Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. for a no-obligation evaluation of potential legal claims by completing the form above on the right or via e-mail to [email protected].
