How to check if your car is recalled

Enter your vehicle's model year, make, and model — or your 17-character VIN — in the lookup tool above to see open NHTSA safety recalls. A recall means the manufacturer or NHTSA has determined the vehicle (or a part) creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet a federal standard, and the manufacturer must fix it free of charge.

What a vehicle recall covers

Recalls address safety defects — faulty airbags, brakes, steering, fuel systems, electrical fires, and similar hazards — as well as failures to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The repair, replacement, or refund is provided at no cost. Recalls do not cover general wear and tear or problems outside the safety standards.

Vehicle Recalls — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if my car has a recall?
Look up your vehicle by model year, make, and model, or decode your 17-character VIN, using NHTSA data. This page's lookup tool does that and links to the official NHTSA recall record. You can also search directly at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Are recall repairs free?
Yes. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety recall at no charge — by repairing the vehicle, replacing it, or refunding the purchase price — typically for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date the problem was determined.
Where do vehicle recall notices come from?
In the U.S., vehicle safety recalls are issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in cooperation with automakers. This page aggregates NHTSA recall data and links to each official record.
