What the check shows

Maker campaignsmodel and year

Official recalls for the model and year.

  • The faulty component or system
  • The risk of the defect
  • How the maker fixes it
  • Campaign announcement date
What to check nextat the dealer

Whether the work was done on this exact car.

  • Ask an official dealer by VIN
  • Service book and work records
Campaigns are shown for the model and year. Whether this exact car had the fix is confirmed by an official dealer by VIN or by service records.

Why recalls matter

  • Safety. Recalls often concern airbags, brakes, steering and the fuel system.
  • Free repair. Campaign work is usually done by the dealer at no cost to the owner.
  • US imports. Imported cars may have missed the campaign before sale — ask a dealer.
  • A point at the inspection. An open campaign is a reason to get it fixed before buying.
