Just put my VIN into the site to try it out, fully aware of the fact that my car has 2 open recalls on it (yes parts are available I just haven't had a chance to get my car in to get them addressed). According to the site I have 0 recalls on my car. Its a great idea but only if it works. Misinformation is worse than no information.

EDIT: I doubled checked my findings against the recall lookup on VW's site. Technically VW calls the things I need to have done Service Campaigns and not recalls, which is why they may not show up on that site.
