If you think you have already paid for repairs to fix an issue before a recall notice was published, it is advisable to contact the dealer which did the work (if applicable), or the vehicle manufacturer to see if there is any element of goodwill that can be offered.
If a repair was carried out at your own cost, rather than waiting for the repair to be done at no charge as part of the recall, this may also be at the discretion of the repairer or the manufacturer as to whether any kind of reimbursement or award is made.
