How To Check A Vehicle Recall
Search By Year, Make And Model
Use make, model and model year when you want general recall notices for a vehicle line. This is useful before buying, selling or scheduling service.
Find The 17-Character VIN
Your VIN is usually on the lower driver-side windshield, driver-side door label, registration card, title or insurance document.
Match The NHTSA Campaign Number
Campaign numbers identify official recall actions. Use them to compare the defect summary, affected units, component, remedy and manufacturer recall number.
