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.
KGM took over UK retail operations from SsangYong in 2024, with a refreshed range that includes the all-electric Korando e-Motion and Torres EVX alongside the diesel Rexton and Musso. As a recently-rebranded entity, the KGM UK recall record is short — but ongoing campaigns continue to be issued through the standard DVSA and SMMT channels, including launch-period software updates on the Torres and Actyon, plus carry-over campaigns from the SsangYong era. A quick check confirms whether anything needs booking in at a KGM Dealer for your VIN.
Looking for the recall history of a specific KGM? 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.

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 KGM 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.
Use whichever brand the vehicle is registered under on the V5 logbook. Cars sold pre-rebrand are usually registered as SsangYong; cars sold from 2024 onwards under the new name are registered as KGM. The check resolves to the registered brand — use this KGM page for a KGM-registered car and the SsangYong page for a SsangYong-registered car.
