By model year

Check a Western Star by VIN

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that.

For whether a recall is still open on one specific vehicle, including repairs already carried out, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov. That query reaches the manufacturer’s own records; no public dataset can answer it.
