Recalls or service bulletins, that’s the only issues my 08 had. It was a pretty dependable vehicle, besides the broken sunshade, defective drivers seat belt, blower motors, and clutch actuator. 2008, had one crappy manufacture 2 year warranty. Glad I took out the smart car factory extended warranty.All of those but the engine mat one are not recalls, but service bulletins. IIRC, service bulletins are not required to be free fixes if the car's no longer in warranty. The only actual recalls for 2008 fortwos are the engine mats and the tridion cell paint on 49 or so cars.
You can type in your vin number, if you bought used. Most cases, it will show what vehicle damage, recalls, service bulletins that were performed on a vehicle.
