Before you start
You'll need to know:
- The make and model of your car.
- The year it was manufactured.
Find out if your car has been recalled
Start by visiting the vehicle recall checker on the Gov.uk website.
Select the date range that you want to check for recalls, the make and model of your car, and click 'Search'.
The website will display a list of all recalls that might relate to your vehicle.
The table will show:
- when the recall was issued
- the reference number
- the models that might be affected
- the concern
- vehicle identification numbers (VIN)
- build dates of the cars affected
To see more details about the recall, click the recall reference number.
If you think your car is on the list, get in touch with the manufacturer via email or their customer services phone number. You can usually find this under a 'Contact' button in the footer of their website.
They will confirm if your car is affected, and if needed the manufacturer will organise a check and repair, if necessary, at the dealer most convenient to you. This will be free of charge, it's that simple!
