How to check if your Volkswagen T5 has a recall
A recall covers specific build dates and vehicle identification numbers (VINs), not every Volkswagen T5 on the road. To see whether yours is affected:
- Look up your VIN or registration on the official recall checker for the country where the car is registered: KBA (Germany), DVSA (UK), Traficom (Finland), RappelConso (France), EU Safety Gate (Slovakia), NZTA (New Zealand).
- Ask an authorised Volkswagen dealer: recall repairs are free, including on used cars and cars serviced elsewhere.
- Add the car to your watched vehicles on Recaller Book and get an email when a new campaign is published for it.
