How Do I Check on Recalls by VIN?

Currently, millions of cars on the road have open recalls, but their owners have no idea, and others ignore the recalls. To be safe, you need to keep checking if your vehicle has a recall. It's almost impossible for a manufacturer to contact everyone about recalls, especially for older vehicles.

Did you know you can check for vehicle recalls by vehicle identification number (VIN)? Every vehicle has a unique VIN. It's good to keep checking if your vehicle has an open recall, but it is a major hassle for a busy person.

It is easy to forget to check for recalls, which is a danger to you and your loved ones, out of everything you need to do. Whether or not you know if there is an open recall affecting your vehicle, there is a much easier way to check for recalls by VIN. DoNotPay is the world's first AI Consumer Champion and makes checking for vehicle recalls easier and streamlines claim processes.

How Do I Make a Claim for Vehicle Recalls by VIN?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) provides you with a way of checking for an open safety recall on your vehicle on their website.

• Enter your 17-character VIN on the NHTSA tool on their website. The VIN is located on the lower left of your vehicle's windshield. You can also find the VIN on your vehicle's registration or your insurance card.
• Manufacturers may put out open recalls on safety issues. In this case, they notify the NHTSA 60 days before they notify registered vehicle owners by mail with an appropriate issue remedy.
• The NHTSA monitors the recalls to ensure you get free, effective, and safe remedies from vehicle manufacturers.
• The manufacturer notifies you via email, and you should follow the safety guidelines they provide. Contact your local dealer for free repairs.

The tool will also show any vehicle recall in the past fifteen years. These include safety recalls from the primary vehicle, motorbike, or some medium or heavy truck manufacturers.

This process from your complaint to investigation and recall is time-consuming. DoNotPay makes the process easier, faster, and more successful.
