🔍 Free Recall Lookup
Type your VIN. Get every open recall on your vehicle. Most recalls can be fixed FREE at your local dealer — but most people never know they exist. We use NHTSA's free database. No signup, no email, no tracking.
VIN is on your registration, insurance card, or the bottom-left corner of your windshield.
🛡 What's a recall?
A safety recall is when the manufacturer (Ford, Toyota, etc.) decides a defect on your specific vehicle needs to be fixed. The fix is FREE at your dealer — they're required by law to do it at no cost. But you have to know it exists.
Common recall topics: airbags (Takata), fuel pumps, ignition switches, transmission control modules, fire risks, steering components.
📞 Got an open recall — now what?
- Write down the NHTSA campaign number (e.g., 22V-340)
- Call your local dealer's SERVICE department (not sales)
- Say: "I have an open recall, campaign [number], on my [year/make/model]. Can you schedule the recall fix?"
- They'll need your VIN to confirm and order parts
- Drop off your car, pick it up, drive away
- You pay $0.
If the dealer tries to upsell you on other work while doing the recall, you can decline — the recall fix itself is free.
🤔 What if my dealer is closed or won't help?
