Review available safety campaigns connected with the vehicle model and manufacture period before you travel, buy or arrange repairs.
Understand what a recall campaign means
A vehicle safety recall is issued when a manufacturer identifies a problem that could affect safety. A campaign can cover a particular model, build period or VIN range rather than every vehicle carrying the same model name.
Our free vehicle recall check uses the registration record to identify the vehicle and show available campaigns connected with its model and recorded manufacture date.
The result helps you understand what the problem was, what repair the manufacturer proposed and which build or VIN ranges were supplied with the campaign.
The result is indicative. It cannot confirm that the individual vehicle falls inside a manufacturer VIN range or whether repair work has already been completed. Use the full VIN when confirming the vehicle with an authorised dealership.

Frequently asked questions
Understand the difference between a possible model campaign and a confirmed outstanding recall for one vehicle.
No. The result identifies campaigns that may apply to the vehicle model and manufacture date. The full VIN is required for exact confirmation by the manufacturer or an authorised dealership.
No. A matching campaign does not show whether the individual vehicle was included or whether recall work has already been completed. Confirm both points using the VIN.
It only means no campaign in the available records matched the identified model and manufacture date. It does not guarantee that the vehicle has never been recalled or that no newer campaign exists.
The 17-character VIN is normally shown on the V5C logbook and on the vehicle, often at the lower windscreen, door frame or a manufacturer identification plate.
One campaign can include vehicles built in different factories, specifications or production batches. Separate affected ranges may therefore be recorded under the same campaign number.
Contact the vehicle manufacturer or an authorised dealership with the full VIN. They can confirm whether the vehicle is included and whether any required work remains outstanding.
