UK Vehicle Recall Check
Proton is the Malaysian manufacturer that withdrew from UK sales in 2014 — but a small used-market parc of Persona, Satria and Savvy hatchbacks remains. 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.
Proton withdrew from UK new-car sales in 2014 (and is now Geely-owned). UK-registered Protons are still covered by DVSA recall data for any safety campaigns that remain outstanding on the parc, including older airbag, fuel-system and brake-related items. Because there is no longer a UK Proton dealer network, recall work is typically handled by independent garages — the check tells you what is outstanding for the VIN.
Recall data is available for every UK-registered Proton, including the Persona, Satria, Savvy, Impian, GEN-2, Wira, Waja and Jumbuck. 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 Proton 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.
For any outstanding Proton safety recall, contact a general independent garage or specialist familiar with the Mitsubishi-derived platforms underlying many older Protons. Recall work is carried out free of charge regardless of when the campaign was issued.
Yes. Older Protons have been subject to a small number of recall campaigns over the years, and recall letters often never reach the current keeper after several private sales. Recalls have no expiry.
Proton 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.
