UK Vehicle Recall Check
Citroën is one of the longest-established mainstream brands in the UK, best known for the C3 supermini and the practical Berlingo MPV/van. Enter any UK registration to see whether an outstanding manufacturer recall is on file.
Enter the vehicle's UK registration to begin.
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.
The UK government's official recall register. Confirms whether a recall is outstanding for the vehicle.
Industry data from vehicle manufacturers. Typically includes the recall description, not just a flag.
Every UK recall campaign issued since 1992. Surfaces the historical campaigns for the same make and model alongside the live status.
Citroën sits at the centre of one of the most widely-discussed UK recall stories of recent years — the 1.2 PureTech engine wet-belt and fuel-system issue shared with Peugeot, Vauxhall and DS, addressed through a mixture of recalls, service actions and warranty extensions. Older Citroëns also remain affected by long-running Takata airbag programmes, with a particularly high-profile “do not drive” notice issued on selected C3 and DS3 model years. A quick check confirms whether anything needs booking in at a Citroën Dealer, free of charge regardless of vehicle age.

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 Citroën vehicles you'll see whether a recall is outstanding, the source database, and (where available) a description of the recall.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If the recall is still outstanding for the VIN, the report will flag it. Owners of affected C3 and DS3 model years are urged not to drive the vehicle until the airbag inflator is replaced, free of charge, at a Citroën or DS Dealer.
Yes. Berlingo, ë-Berlingo, Dispatch, ë-Dispatch, Relay, ë-Relay and Spacetourer are all UK-registered Citroëns and are covered by the same DVSA + SMMT combined check.
Each Stellantis brand has its own dedicated recall check. Use the Peugeot, Vauxhall, DS, Fiat or Jeep pages for those vehicles — recall data is brand- and VIN-specific.
Citroën is part of Stellantis. Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
Citroën maintains an official recall lookup tool. Our combined check pulls from DVSA and SMMT to give you broader coverage, but you can also check the manufacturer's portal directly.
