Service Campaigns and Recalls

CUPRA Australia is dedicated to providing vehicles of outstanding quality and value and, as part of our constant efforts to ensure ongoing customer satisfaction and safety, service campaigns and/or recalls may be introduced from time to time.

In addition to notifying existing owners in writing of any existing recalls, this webpage has been set up to ensure owners have current and up to date information readily available regarding manufacturing defects or other technical problems affecting CUPRA vehicles. This VIN Checker Tool will provide owners with details relating to any outstanding and completed service campaigns and/or recalls.

Enter your 17 character (both alpha and numeric) Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the box below to check if any service campaign and/or recall applies to your CUPRA vehicle.

How do I locate my VIN?

Your VIN is listed in numerous documents, including your vehicle registration certificate issued by the vehicle registration body in your state or territory, finance statement and/or insurance paperwork.

You can also find your VIN at the bottom of your windscreen (as you look into the vehicle from the outside, as shown in the diagram to the right).

If you are unable to locate the VIN, or require further information, please contact our Customer Experience Contact Centre on 1800 861 982.

FAQ’s

Recalls address any potential 'safety related' defect, due to a feature of design or construction that could pose a risk to the driver, vehicle occupants, or other road users. In the interest of safety, any recall affecting your vehicle should be completed immediately. Recalls can also address potential breaches of the type of approval. For example, the tyre label might have a different part number to approved documents – it isn’t safety related but requires a recall.

Service campaigns are not safety-related. As technology improves, there may be instances where a manufacturer has developed new components or improvements that will help to enhance the overall performance of your vehicle. The enhancements will be applied to your vehicle when you take it to an authorised CUPRA Service Partner, normally during routine servicing and repairs. CUPRA will not usually write to customers advising them of service campaigns.

You can use the VIN Checker Tool above to identify if there are any current or completed recalls for your vehicle. In addition, if your vehicle has been affected by a recall, CUPRA will contact the current owner by post to let them know and to advise them of the next steps.
