What the status means

A recall campaign is outstanding while the manufacturer still lists the repair as not done. It becomes completed when the manufacturer records the work. We email on the first change, and again if a campaign is reopened.

The VIN is on the driver-side windscreen or your registration papers. A recall repair is free — the supplier conducting the recall pays for it. A car with no published recall is not proven clear: some campaigns publish no VIN list at all.
