About RecallScanner

RecallScanner is a free tool that helps vehicle owners check whether their car, truck, or SUV has any open safety recalls. We believe everyone deserves quick, easy access to safety information about the vehicles they drive every day.

Our Data Source

All recall data comes directly from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the official U.S. government agency responsible for vehicle safety. NHTSA maintains the most comprehensive database of vehicle recalls, consumer complaints, and safety investigations in the United States.

How It Works

When you enter your VIN or browse by vehicle make and model, RecallScanner queries the NHTSA API in real-time to retrieve the latest recall information. We do not store your VIN or any personal information.

Important Notes

• RecallScanner is not affiliated with NHTSA or any government agency.
• Recall repairs are always free — by law, manufacturers must fix recalled vehicles at no cost to the owner.
• If your vehicle has an open recall, contact your nearest authorized dealership to schedule the repair.
• Data is refreshed daily, but there may be a short delay between when NHTSA publishes a new recall and when it appears here.
