You can check using your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the manufacturer’s official safety recall website. We’ve linked these on this page for your convenience. You may also receive a letter or email from the manufacturer.


3. Is it safe to keep driving my vehicle if it’s been recalled?

This depends on the nature of the recall. Some recalls are precautionary, while others may require immediate attention. Once identified, we recommend booking your recall appointment as soon as possible. If you’re unsure, speak to our service team.


4. What does it cost to have recall work carried out?

Recall-related work is free of charge to the vehicle owner. This includes both parts and labour, as covered by the manufacturer.
