UK Vehicle Recall Check
SsangYong is the Korean SUV and pickup specialist now reorganised as KG Mobility (and rebranded to KGM in the UK from 2024) — but the existing UK parc of Tivoli, Korando, Rexton and Musso vehicles remains very much in use. 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.
SsangYong reorganised under new ownership as KG Mobility in 2022 and rebranded in the UK to KGM in 2024 — but UK-registered SsangYong vehicles are still supported through the UK KGM service network. Historical SsangYong recalls have covered Tivoli electrical and brake-system items, Rexton transmission and emissions campaigns, and Musso pickup brake and fuel-system programmes. A quick check confirms whether anything is still outstanding for your VIN — particularly useful on used examples bought outside the original dealer network.

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 SsangYong 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; newer cars sold from 2024 onwards are registered as KGM. The check resolves to the registered brand, so use this SsangYong page for a SsangYong-registered car and the KGM page for a KGM-registered car.
Yes. Musso double-cab pickups (both passenger and commercial-registered) are UK-registered SsangYongs and are covered by the same DVSA + SMMT combined check.
Yes. Older SsangYong vehicles have been subject to a number of safety campaigns over the years, and recall letters often never reach the current keeper after multiple private sales. Manufacturers fix safety recalls free of charge regardless of vehicle age.
SsangYong is part of KG Mobility (formerly SsangYong). Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
SsangYong 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.
