Recall work is done by the manufacturer, and GOV.UK says you will not usually have to pay for it. These are the 38 DVSA recalls for the Transit, newest first. They do not tell you whether this particular car has had the work: for that, put the registration into the free GOV.UK MOT history check, which shows a recall status where the manufacturer shares it, or ask a franchised dealer to check the VIN.
