UK Vehicle Recall Check
Vauxhall is one of the highest-volume UK car and van brands by historical parc, with millions of Corsas, Astras, Insignias and Vivaros on the road. 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.
Vauxhall has been at the centre of several high-profile UK safety recalls, most famously the Zafira B HVAC-blower-resistor campaign that prompted a long-running fire-risk investigation. More recently, Stellantis-era recalls have covered Corsa-e battery checks, Vivaro fuel-system components and airbag-related programmes. Because Vauxhalls trade hands frequently in the used market, recall letters sent to the original keeper often never reach the new owner — a quick check confirms whether anything needs booking in at a Vauxhall Retailer, free of charge.
Looking for the recall history of a specific Vauxhall? 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 Vauxhall, including the Corsa, Corsa Electric, Astra, Astra Electric, Insignia, Mokka, Mokka Electric, Crossland, Grandland, Combo Life, Combo, Vivaro, Vivaro Life, Movano, Zafira, Adam, Viva, Antara and Meriva. 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 Vauxhall 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. Combo, Combo Life, Vivaro, Vivaro Life, Vivaro Electric and Movano are all UK-registered Vauxhalls and are covered by the same DVSA + SMMT combined check.
No. Once a Vauxhall Retailer logged the repair against the VIN under the Zafira B HVAC-resistor campaign, the recall is marked completed and will not appear as outstanding. If your check returns an outstanding flag on a Zafira B, it is worth booking in.
Each Stellantis brand has its own dedicated recall check. Use the Peugeot, Citroën, DS or Fiat pages for those vehicles — recall data is brand- and VIN-specific.
Vauxhall is part of Stellantis. Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
Vauxhall 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.
