About recallau

What is recallau?

recallau is Australia's comprehensive recall database — unifying four government recall sources into a single, searchable platform. Instead of checking four separate government websites, search once and find recalls across vehicles, consumer products, food, and therapeutic goods.

Data sources

• Vehicle recalls — vehiclerecalls.gov.au (Australian Government). Cars, motorcycles, trucks, trailers, caravans. Includes VIN-level lookup.
• Product recalls — productsafety.gov.au (ACCC). Consumer products across 14 categories — from baby products to electrical goods. 8,100+ recalls indexed.
• Food recalls — foodstandards.gov.au (FSANZ). Allergen contamination, microbial hazards, foreign matter, chemical contamination.
• Therapeutic goods — tga.gov.au (TGA). Medicine and medical device recalls. Integration in progress.

Data is synced daily via automated scrapers and RSS feeds.

How it works

1. Search by VIN, product name, brand, or keyword
2. Filter by recall type — vehicle, product, food, or medicine
3. Browse by make, category, or date
4. Register (free) and save vehicles for automatic recall alerts
