Check if your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA website will tell you if your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you enter your car's 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA website and no recall appears, it means your vehicle does not currently have any open recalls. Because auto manufacturers issue recalls frequently, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking periodically to see if your vehicle has been issued a recall.
