What a recall means
A recall is a repair a manufacturer offers for a fault found in a group of vehicles, and GOV.UK says you will not usually have to pay for any repairs or parts. It stays with the vehicle, so on a used car what matters is whether the work has been done. This list says what DVSA has published for the model, not whether a particular car is affected.
