Staying informed about potential recalls is an important part of being a responsible vehicle owner. While receiving a Hyundai recall notice can be anxiety-inducing, it is important to remember that the majority of recalls are due to a simple issue that can be taken care of during a quick visit to Anaheim Hyundai. Learn how to check if your vehicle is the subject of a recall.

How to Find Your Vehicle Identification Number

The first thing you should do when you want to look up potential recalls is to locate your unique 17-character Vehicle Identification Number, also known as the VIN. You can typically find your VIN printed on a small metal plate on the driver’s side dashboard. It’s often visible through the windshield. If you cannot find it here, it’s also listed on your registration card, insurance documents, or the sticker inside your driver’s side door jamb. This number is important because it allows Hyundai to identify your exact build and trim level quickly.

How to Schedule Your Hyundai Recall Repairs

Once you have found your VIN, you can enter it on the Hyundai website to search for any open recalls. If your search reveals an open recall, remember that all safety-related repairs are performed entirely free of charge at Anaheim Hyundai. We offer flexible scheduling, convenient hours, and a comfortable lounge area with free Wi-Fi® while you wait for our certified Hyundai technicians to finish the repairs.
