Motor Ombudsman - Online vehicle recalls

​The Motor Ombudsman has an easy-to-use search function on its website which allows motorists to find out quickly whether a participating car manufacturer has recalled a specific make and model under the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA)'s safety recall scheme.

The portal allows users to search for any outstanding safety recalls on a specific car based on the unique 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN).  Manufacturers make every effort to communicate a vehicle recall to owners, and to get cars back into their franchise dealer network for repairs, but in some cases, these can slip through the net if they have been sold on or customers do not respond to a notification.
