London – The UK automotive sector, led by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and Motor Codes, has launched a new consumer-facing web portal to enable motorists to identify if their vehicle is on a safety recall list.
The new service is available online via Motor Codes (motorcodes.co.uk), the automotive industry’s government-approved regulatory body, and is funded and managed by SMMT, according to a press release by the trade association.
Customers will also be directed to their nearest dealer so that any necessary remedial work can be carried out as quickly as possible.
The vehicle safety recall search tool, which operates using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), also offers a chance for car owners and buyers of used cars and vans to check if the vehicle is subject to an outstanding safety recall.
