How to find out if a car has had a recall or still needs one? Planning to buy a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV and read they may have had a recall. (lemmy.nz)

I found this site, but it's US based, so unsure if it will help.

Thanks! Sorry, didn't see the reply earlier as it wasn't in my inbox.

I'll check with Hyundai.

Looks right! I can see two open recalls for Hyundai Ioniq and a bunch more closed recalls. The one affecting the battery seems to be closed, I guess that means they got all relevant cars fixed?

I'm not 100% sure, but I found this old thread that suggests that if it shows closed then the car has already had the issue fixed. Maybe a previous owner took care of it?

Since this website (from the top reply) is not for a specific car, my assumption is a closed recall means all affected cars must have been resolved.

However, if it were me I'd contact Hyundai with the details of the car and ask if there is anything outstanding. The recall notices had contact details.
