UK Vehicle Recall Check
Genesis is the Hyundai Motor Group's premium standalone brand, launched in the UK in 2021 and known for its concierge-style Genesis Studios and direct-delivery model. 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.
Genesis shares its E-GMP electric platform and several mechanical components with Hyundai and Kia, and a number of Genesis recall campaigns mirror those across the wider Hyundai Motor Group — including the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) recall on the GV60 and Electrified GV70 (shared with Ioniq 5 and EV6) and selected airbag programmes. Genesis is still a young UK brand so recall volumes are low, but a quick check ensures nothing is outstanding for your VIN.
Looking for the recall history of a specific Genesis? Each model page covers known UK safety campaigns, generation coverage and model-specific FAQs. The combined DVSA + SMMT check is the same on every page.
Recall data is available for every UK-registered Genesis, including the G70, G80, G90, GV60, GV70, Electrified GV70, GV80, GV80 Coupé and Electrified G80. Enter any UK registration above to check.

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 Genesis 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.
No. Genesis operates a concierge-style network of Genesis Studios and Personal Assistants in the UK separate from Hyundai dealers. Contact your Genesis Personal Assistant or the nearest Genesis Studio to book any recall work; the repair is carried out free of charge.
Yes. All UK-registered Genesis EVs are covered by the same DVSA + SMMT combined check, including E-GMP-platform-specific campaigns like the ICCU recall.
Each Hyundai Motor Group brand has its own dedicated recall check. Use the Hyundai or Kia pages for those vehicles — recall data is brand- and VIN-specific.
