Are recall repairs free?

Yes. Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, however old the vehicle is.

Where does the recall data come from?

Checks run against the official NHTSA safety recall database, the U.S. government's system of record for vehicle recalls.

Nothing is on file with NHTSA for this model-year.

Recall data as of Sep 16, 2026 — NHTSA. For a live answer, run the check yourself, or see the latest recalls.

Every year links to that vehicle's full recall page.

Repairs are free at any franchised BMW dealer — regardless of the vehicle's age or whether you bought it new.
If a recall is issued later, bring the NHTSA campaign number from the notice you receive in the mail.
Call ahead: some recalls are announced before parts are available, and the dealer can tell you when yours are in.
Your VIN tells the dealer whether your exact vehicle is affected — the free check accepts one and never stores it.

Save it to your free garage and we'll email you the day NHTSA files a recall for it — free.
