Can I get reimbursed for work I had carried out which was later part of a recall?
My Kia Rio has received a recall for HECU. It states that abs esp lights could illuminate. I took my car to have the ABS ESP sensor replaced as I noticed the lights were on. Am I able to get reimbursed for the work carried out due to the HECU?

Work carried out as part of a recall should be completed at no cost to the owner, although this may require a period of waiting if the manufacturer has a large number of vehicles to repair under the recall. If you paid for this work to be carried out out of your own pocket then you can request from the dealership or directly from the manufacturer reimbursement for the cost, but it is possible they may decline to do so as they may argue the work would have been carried out free of charge in due course.
