UK Vehicle Recall Check
Hyundai has become one of the UK's top-selling mainstream brands, with the Tucson, Kona and i10 all consistently in the volume charts. 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.
Hyundai has run several significant UK safety recalls in recent years, including the well-documented Kona Electric and Ioniq high-voltage battery campaign tied to LG Energy Solution cells, and Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) campaigns on the Ioniq 5. Hyundai repairs every safety recall free of charge, but because used Hyundais change hands often, recall letters frequently never reach the current keeper. A quick check confirms whether anything needs booking in at a Hyundai Dealer.
Looking for the recall history of a specific Hyundai? 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 Hyundai, including the i10, i20, i30, Bayon, Kona, Kona Electric, Tucson, Santa Fe, Ioniq, Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Nexo, i40, ix35 and Veloster. Enter any UK registration above to check.
A non-exhaustive editorial summary of recent UK safety campaigns. Run a check to see whether any of these apply to a specific vehicle.
Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) recall affecting the E-GMP platform: in rare cases a defective ICCU could cause the vehicle to lose drive power and require a tow.
High-voltage battery fire-risk recall traced to defective LG Energy Solution battery cells, requiring inspection and in many cases full battery-pack replacement.
Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) inspection on selected diesel and petrol models, addressing a potential engine-bay fire risk under specific corrosion conditions.
The full list of DVLA-recorded Hyundai safety recalls. Showing the most recent 20 of the archive — run a check on a specific registration to see whether any recall is outstanding for that vehicle.

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 Hyundai 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.
Yes. All UK-registered Hyundai electric vehicles are covered by the same DVSA + SMMT combined check, including campaigns specific to E-GMP-platform vehicles like the ICCU recall.
No. Once a Hyundai Dealer has logged the battery-pack replacement against the VIN, the recall is marked completed and will no longer appear as outstanding. If your check returns an outstanding flag on a Kona Electric of the affected model years, it is worth booking in.
Each Hyundai Motor Group brand has its own dedicated recall check. Use the Kia or Genesis pages for those vehicles — recall data is brand- and VIN-specific.
Hyundai is part of Hyundai Motor Group. Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
Hyundai 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.
