Find out whether something you own — a car, appliance, car seat, food item, or gadget — is under a safety recall, and what to do about it. Use when asked to check for a recall, is my [product] recalled, I heard about a recall on, or how do I find out if my car/appliance is affected. Produces a structured way to check by make/model/batch against the official sources, how to read whether your specific unit is affected, the free remedy you're owed, urgency triage for safety risks, and how to register for future recall alerts — flagging that you must confirm against the current official database.
“Is my car under any recall? Here's the make, model, and year.”“I heard there's a recall on a baby stroller like mine — how do I check?”“My space heater is the brand in the news — is mine affected?”“How do I find out if a food product I bought was recalled?”“Bought a used appliance — how do I check it wasn't recalled?”
What to give it
▸What it is — product type, brand, model, and (if known) serial number / VIN / batch or lot code
▸How old / where from — approximate purchase or manufacture date, new or secondhand
▸Why you're asking — heard a rumor, saw a news story, or a proactive check
▸Your country / region — recalls and databases are jurisdiction-specific
▸Any symptom — is it already behaving dangerously (overheating, smoke, fault)?
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Points to the authoritative recall source for that specific product type
✓Tells the user to search by serial/VIN/model/batch, not just brand
✓Explains that recalls usually cover specific runs — confirm the unit is in scope
✓Triages urgency by the actual hazard
✓States the remedy is free and how to claim it
✓Includes registering for future recall alerts
✓Flags "verify against the current official database"
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**Declaring it recalled (or safe)** from the brand alone, without matching the unit's identifiers.
**Trusting a news headline or forum** instead of the official register.
**Underplaying a genuine safety hazard** to avoid alarm.
**Assuming every unit is covered** when the recall names a specific batch.
**Treating this as the live database** rather than a guide to checking it.
