Recall check
Check your car for safety recalls
Milebook shows the safety recalls the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued for your car's year, make and model, in plain words, and keeps track of the ones you've had fixed.
Straight from NHTSA
Recalls come from NHTSA's public recall database for vehicles sold in the US. Each one shows the part affected, what's wrong, the safety risk and what the manufacturer will do, with a link to the official details.
Honest about what it can't tell you
The list is for your car's model, not your exact car: not every car of a model is affected, and it can't show whether a recall was already repaired on yours. For that, enter your VIN on NHTSA.gov or call a dealer. Milebook links you straight there.
Warnings you shouldn't miss
Recalls that say not to drive the car, or to park it outside, are flagged in red at the top of the recall.
Record the repair
When the dealer fixes it, tap Record the repair. It's saved in your service history with the recall number, and the recall shows as done.

Questions
Is the recall check free?
Yes, on every plan, including Free.
Does it tell me if my car has an open recall?
Not on its own. It lists the recalls issued for your car's model. Whether one is still open on your exact car depends on its VIN: check that on NHTSA.gov or with a dealer.
Are recall repairs free?
Safety recall repairs are usually free at an authorized dealer. Older vehicles (generally over 15 years) may not be covered; the recall details on NHTSA.gov say what the manufacturer will do.
Does Milebook store my VIN?
No. The VIN lookup fills in your car's details and isn't saved.
