A VIN based report will usually flag past recalls and list whether they were addressed, but coverage can depend on how consistently the data was reported. For outstanding recalls, the most reliable source is still the manufacturer’s official recall lookup tool. That said, using a history report alongside the manufacturer check gives you a fuller picture the report can also show accidents, service records, title issues, etc. If you want to streamline it all in one place, is worth checking since they combine recall info with the broader vehicle history, so you’re not just relying on one angle.
