Most cars on Cyprus's roads were first sold somewhere else. A recall issued in Tokyo or London usually never reaches the person who later imports and drives that exact car here. recalls.cy exists to close that gap.
The import region we cover
Cyprus drives on the left, so it imports overwhelmingly from other right-hand-drive, left-hand-traffic markets. We focus on exactly those:
- Japan — the single largest source of used imports, where recalls are issued in Japanese.
- Ireland — a European right-hand-drive market feeding the island.
- Cyprus — local recall notices issued by the national authority.
A recall from a left-hand-drive market often doesn't apply to the same car in right-hand-drive form, which is why scoping to this specific region keeps results relevant.
Where the data comes from
Every recall on this site is sourced from an official register. We don't editorialise the facts — we collect, translate and organise them.
Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism — the national recall register.
The EU's rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products, including vehicles.
The Cyprus Road Transport Department's locally issued recall notices.
These registers are checked and the database is refreshed nightly, so newly published recalls appear here without manual intervention.
How we flag dangerous recalls
Not every recall is an emergency. Some address minor labelling or emissions paperwork; others describe a fault that can cause a fire, an airbag failure, or a loss of braking or steering. We classify each recall and mark the safety-critical ones with a clear Dangerous badge, with a short risk label where available. The Dangerous only filter on the main list lets you see those at a glance.
About the translations
Japanese and Greek recall notices are translated into English so non-native speakers can understand the hazard and the remedy. These are machine translations, shown for convenience — every recall page also links to the original source and lets you reveal the original-language text.
