Vehicle Safety Recalls: Checking if Your Car Needs a Free Repair

About Course

Sometimes a car maker discovers a safety problem and recalls vehicles to fix it, usually free of charge. Letters can go astray, especially if you bought your car second-hand or moved house. Learn how to check your car for outstanding recalls on GOV.UK, what to do if it has one, and how to keep your details up to date.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course is a general refresher for experienced drivers based on official guidance. It is not a substitute for the Highway Code, your vehicle handbook or professional driver training.
