Kymco Recalls
Check open Kymco recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Kymco recall lookups work
When you enter a Kymco VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Kymco dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Kymco recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Kymco authorized dealer after purchase.

NHTSA campaign 19V037000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
2018-2019 Kymco Like 150i
The fuel pump could seep fuel from around its electrical connection when the tank was filled to the top, creating a fire risk. Dealers replaced the fuel pump at no charge; the campaign began in March 2019.
NHTSA campaign 20V350000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR/TONE RING
2018-2019 Kymco Like 150i
Excess grease applied at the factory could degrade the ABS sensor's magnetic ring, silently disabling the anti-lock function and lengthening emergency stops. Dealers cleaned the sensor sleeve and replaced the magnetic ring at no charge; the campaign began in July 2020.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Kymco also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
