Can I check to see if my Toyota is part of a recall?
Yes, with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). VINs have been around in earnest for almost 40 years. All Toyota vehicles are issued with one. You will find this 17-digit-and-letter code on the driver’s side of your car, either just inside the windscreen or on the door post. Your Toyota’s VIN can also be located in vehicle registration documents provided by the DVLA.

You can do this anytime you wish, regardless of whether you’ve heard about a recall or not.
