Free Recall Lookup

An open recall is a free repair. Finding it takes a minute.

Enter a VIN and get every NHTSA safety recall campaign filed for that model year — the defect, the risk, and the remedy the manufacturer owes. The repair is free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle, whoever owns it.

The 9th character is arithmetic — we verify it as you type0/17

Campaign data comes straight from NHTSA. Whether a campaign is still open on this exact vehicle is VIN-specific — the page tells you where that answer is free.

Free, forever

A safety recall repair costs nothing at any franchised dealer for the life of the vehicle — whoever owns it, however many hands it has passed through.

Model year vs your VIN

Campaigns attach to production ranges, so the list here describes the model year. One specific car may sit outside the range, or may already have been repaired — the VIN-specific word is free at nhtsa.gov/recalls or any dealer.

A negotiating document

An open recall on a car you are about to buy is leverage with a federal citation on it: the seller can have it fixed free before you pay, or the price can say why not.
