WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (March 9, 2010) – The If you own a Toyota, Nissan or other vehicle that's part of a recall and you've been involved in an accident, you may have questions about how the recall affects your insurance claim. In short, it doesn't. An auto company recall does not affect your coverage or your claim. Subject to the terms of your policy, Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company will provide coverage for your loss.

And we make it simple, with three convenient ways to file an insurance claim:

• Online by accessing your account
• By phone, using our 24-hour claims center (toll-free at 1-800-226-6383)
• By contacting your agent

For the fastest car insurance claims service, be prepared with basic information:
• Car insurance policy number
• Insured's name and address
• Date and details of the damage or injury
• Names and contact information for other parties involved in the accident (if applicable)

Above all, Farm Bureau Financial Services wants you to be safe on the road. If your car is part of a recall, it's important that you take it to your dealership and have it serviced with the recall fix.

Your agent is your best resource for information about your policy. If you have further questions about your coverage or claim, please contact your agent.
