Recall alerts for your imported car — you stay notified
Your car can be named in a factory recall a month or three years after you bought it — and in Cyprus, nobody will call you. We watch the official manufacturer database for your exact chassis number, so you hear about it first. Notified.
Who will tell me my car has a recall in Cyprus?
For an imported car, usually nobody — recall notices go to owners registered in the original market, not to you. RecallsCheck.cy closes that gap: we watch the manufacturer's official Japan-market recall portal for your exact chassis number and send you an SMS the moment your car is named.
Won't Toyota call me about a recall?
The manufacturer can only notify owners registered in the country where the car was first sold — the new owner of an import is invisible to that system. Your car's recall record lives on in Japan, but the letters go to a Japanese address that no longer owns the car. Monitoring the official portal is the only way an import owner hears about a campaign.
My dealer checked when I bought it and said there were no recalls.
That was true on the day they checked — recalls are issued whenever a defect is discovered, often years after a car was built. A campaign published next month can name a car sold as recall-free today. That's not the dealer misleading you; it's how recalls work — which is why a one-off check isn't enough.
I checked once — what about tomorrow, next month, next year?
A recall check is a snapshot; monitoring re-runs the official check every week for as long as you own the car. You don't have to remember to check again. If nothing is found, you stay quietly covered. If something appears — tomorrow or in three years — your phone buzzes.
Where do I find my chassis number?
It's the frame number on your registration document — a short code, a dash, and a serial (for example ZVG13-1038627). That's all we need, together with the brand. Japanese-market cars don't use a 17-character VIN, so there is nothing to decode.
How it works
Add your car
Enter the chassis (frame) number from your registration document and pick the brand — no VIN decoding, no paperwork.
We check on a schedule
Our service queries the manufacturer's official recall portal automatically — weekly by default — and tracks every change.
You get an SMS alert
The moment an open recall appears you get an SMS with a direct link to the official campaign page; the repair itself is done free by the brand's authorized dealer.
What we do — and what we don't
We monitor the official Japan-market recall portals of 10 brands — Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Isuzu — and alert you. We don't repair cars: an open recall is fixed by the brand's authorized dealer. And a clear recall result says nothing about a car's condition or history — accidents, real mileage, auction grade are a different check. For those, get a full Japan history report — auction records, photos, mileage and accident checks — at CarTrust.cy.
