UK Vehicle Recall Check
Nissan is one of the largest car brands sold in the UK, and the Qashqai and Juke are both UK-built in Sunderland. 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.
Nissan has run a steady stream of UK safety recalls covering everything from the global Takata airbag programme (which affected very large numbers of older Micras, Note, Qashqai and X-Trails) through to more recent campaigns on the Leaf and Ariya electric vehicles. Because Sunderland-built Qashqais and Jukes change hands frequently in the UK used market, recall letters often miss the current keeper. A quick check confirms whether anything needs booking in at a Nissan Dealer, free of charge regardless of vehicle age.
Looking for the recall history of a specific Nissan? 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 Nissan 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. Qashqai and Juke are built in Sunderland for the UK and European markets, and both the petrol and e-POWER hybrid versions are covered by the same DVSA + SMMT combined check.
Only if it is still outstanding for the VIN. Once a Nissan Dealer has logged the inflator replacement against the VIN, the recall is marked completed and will not appear as outstanding.
Each Alliance brand has its own dedicated recall check. Use the Renault, Dacia or Mitsubishi pages for those vehicles — recall data is brand- and VIN-specific.
Nissan is part of Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance. Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
Nissan 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.
