What our Chery recall check covers

Our combined check pulls the DVSA recall database, the SMMT manufacturer feed and the DVLA recall archive going back to 1992, so where a recall exists you get the live outstanding status, the recall description and every past campaign for the same model in one place.

DVSA database

The UK government's official recall register. Confirms whether a recall is outstanding for the vehicle.

SMMT manufacturer feed

Industry data from vehicle manufacturers. Typically includes the recall description, not just a flag.

DVLA recall archive

Every UK recall campaign issued since 1992. Surfaces the historical campaigns for the same make and model alongside the live status.

Why check a Chery for recalls?

Chery Automobile is the Chinese parent of the Omoda and Jaecoo brands which entered the UK in 2024. Chery-badged vehicles themselves are very rarely registered in the UK — most owners of Chery-group cars will hold an Omoda or Jaecoo on the V5 logbook. For the small number of Chery-registered vehicles in the UK, the check works the same as for any other brand. If you own an Omoda or Jaecoo, use those dedicated pages instead.

Top Chery models we cover

Recall data is available for every UK-registered Chery, including the Tiggo, Arrizo, Omoda (sub-brand) and Jaecoo (sub-brand). Enter any UK registration above to check.

Frequently asked questions

How does the RecallClear Chery recall check work?+

Enter the vehicle's registration mark (VRM) and pay £1.99. We query the DVSA recall database and the SMMT manufacturer feed in a single request and return the combined result. For most Chery vehicles you'll see whether a recall is outstanding, the source database, and (where available) a description of the recall.

What is the difference between DVSA and SMMT recall data?+

DVSA (the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) maintains the UK government's official recall register and flags whether a recall is outstanding. SMMT (the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) aggregates manufacturer-supplied data which often includes the recall description as well as the outstanding flag. Combining both maximises coverage and detail.

How recent is the recall data?+

Both DVSA and SMMT data sources are continually updated as manufacturers report new safety campaigns. Each check returns a timestamp showing when the data was last verified for that vehicle.

What happens if the recall status is "Unknown"?+

Some vehicles aren't currently listed in either database (very new registrations, very old vehicles, grey imports, and certain commercial variants are the usual reasons). When that happens we'll show "Unknown" and direct you to the manufacturer's recall portal so you can confirm directly. A refund is available if you'd like one.

What should I do if a recall is outstanding?+

Contact any authorised franchised dealer for the brand. Manufacturers carry out safety recalls free of charge, regardless of who currently owns the vehicle and regardless of age. You'll typically need the vehicle's VIN; the report includes it where the database returns one.

Do I need an account to run a check?+

No account is needed to start a check. After payment we'll email you a magic link so you can access the report any time, and a shareable link if you want to send the result to a buyer, seller, or dealer.

I own an Omoda 5 or Jaecoo 7 — should I check it here?+

No. Use the Omoda or Jaecoo pages instead. UK-registered Omodas and Jaecoos are registered under those brand names on the V5 logbook, and the check resolves to whichever brand is on the registration document.

My car was sold as a Chery. Is it covered?+

Yes. UK-registered Chery vehicles are covered by the standard DVSA + SMMT combined check. For very low-volume imports an "Unknown" result is possible — in that case the report directs you to cross-check directly with Chery or your supplying retailer.

Other Chery Automobile brands

Chery is part of Chery Automobile. Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
