A safety recall is defined as where the manufacturer recalls the vehicle for safety reasons under the DVSA safety recall scheme. If the manufacturer of your vehicle is a participant in the scheme, this service can indicate if your vehicle may have an outstanding safety recall. Here are the most common questions we get asked about vehicle recalls.
A vehicle recall is issued when a manufacturer identifies a safety-related defect or non-compliance with regulatory standards. It’s their way of ensuring your vehicle meets the correct safety and performance levels.
You can check using your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the manufacturer’s official safety recall website or use the Motor Ombudsman link here. You may also receive a letter or email from the manufacturer.
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.
Recall-related work is free of charge to the vehicle owner. This includes both parts and labour, as covered by the manufacturer.
