Over 2 million UK vehicles have outstanding manufacturer recalls

About

About RecallClear

The UK's dedicated vehicle recall check. One job, done properly: tell you whether the car on your driveway has unfinished safety work on it.

What we do

RecallClear is a single-purpose vehicle recall check for UK registrations. Every check returns the live DVSA outstanding-recall status, the SMMT manufacturer recall description where one is published, and the relevant historical campaigns for the same make and model from the DVLA recall archive going back to 1992. It costs £1.99, takes around thirty seconds, and doesn't need an account to start.

We built RecallClear because recall data tends to be either free but fragmented (the manufacturer portals, gov.uk MOT history, the DVSA register) or accurate but buried inside £20+ vehicle-history reports that bundle in fifteen things you didn't come for. A dedicated, low-cost check is the gap.

Our parent company

RecallClear is a trading name of Service Stamp Ltd, the company behind ServiceStamp — the UK vehicle service-history check used by private sellers, used-car buyers and small dealerships across the country. Service Stamp Ltd is a company registered in England & Wales (company number 17159900) with a registered office at Unit 5 Sedbury Trading Estate, Grahamstown Road, Sedbury, Chepstow, NP16 7AD.

The two products sit alongside each other deliberately. A car buyer doing real due diligence wants to know two different things: what work has been done to this vehicle, and what work should have been done that the manufacturer is liable for. ServiceStamp answers the first; RecallClear answers the second.

If you're buying or selling a used car, it's usually worth running both checks together. You can read more about ServiceStamp on the parent-company site.

Where our data comes from

RecallClear queries three official UK data sources for every check: the DVSA recall database (the government register that flags whether a recall is outstanding against a specific VIN), the SMMT manufacturer feed (industry data supplied by vehicle manufacturers that typically includes the recall description and remedy), and the DVLA recall archive of every UK campaign since 1992. We don't hold our own opinion on what a recall means — we surface what the data sources report, link to the manufacturer's official portal, and stay out of your way.
