Check Your Vehicle Now
Our Mission
Every year, millions of vehicles are affected by safety recalls: faulty airbags, brake failures, fire risks, and more. The repairs are always free, but millions of owners never find out they qualify. We exist to close that gap.
Our mission is simple: make it effortless for every driver in America to know whether their vehicle has an open recall and where to get it fixed, completely free of charge.
Our recall data is powered by RecallHQ, aggregating records from vehicle manufacturers, NHTSA, and Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), and updated daily so you always have the most current information available. No account required. No fees. Ever.
We tell you exactly where our data comes from (RecallHQ, aggregating manufacturer, NHTSA, and TSB records), how often it's updated, and what a result does and doesn't mean. No black boxes, no hidden logic.
We use your VIN or plate number only to check for recalls. We don't use your submission to build profiles, sell data, or require you to create an account. Your information is yours.
A recall check should take seconds, not a trip down a government website rabbit hole. We designed this tool for the driver who just wants a quick, clear answer.
Every feature we build is in service of one goal: getting unsafe vehicles repaired. We surface recall urgency clearly so you know when to act fast.
The law requires recall repairs to be free. Checking for them should be too. We will never charge vehicle owners to use this service. Full stop.
Our recall data is powered by RecallHQ, which aggregates records from manufacturers, NHTSA, and Technical Service Bulletins, updated daily. We don't filter or delay recall notices; you get the most complete recall picture, fast.
Why We Built This
Recall data is public and comprehensive, but it's not exactly built for the average driver. We found that many people didn't know where to check for recalls, didn't know it was free to get them fixed, or had simply never thought about it. Meanwhile, roughly one in four vehicles on American roads has at least one open recall sitting unaddressed.
We built doihavearecall.com to be the tool we wish existed: fast, clean, no junk, no upsells. Enter your VIN or license plate, get your recall status in seconds, and find a nearby franchise dealer if you need a repair. That's it.
We're here for drivers. DoIHaveARecall.com is an independent service that helps vehicle owners quickly find open safety recalls and locate authorized repair facilities. Some dealerships partner with us to increase recall awareness in their communities, but those partnerships never affect the recall data you see. Every recall result is powered by RecallHQ using manufacturer and government recall information.
