Official recall data sources and coverage
Official recall sources configured for ScanRecalls in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand, including import limitations.
Understand the coverage
This directory reflects the source configuration used by ScanRecalls. “Scheduled import” means automatic collection is enabled; it does not guarantee a successful recent fetch or complete historical coverage. Each published recall links to its original notice.
US NHTSA and UK DVSA automatic imports are currently paused. Vehicle results, where available, are not a complete VIN lookup. Use the relevant authority’s own service to check a vehicle.
