There is one sure fire way to tell if your Note 7 has been recalled. Did you buy it any day before today? If yes then your Note 7 is recalled. You need to take it to your carrier or whoever you bought it from and get it replaced immediately. If you purchase a Note 7 in the future you should check the IMEI first via Samsung's new IMEI checker tool to be sure that the phone you are looking to buy has not been recalled. If you buy a recalled Note 7 from a shady Craigslister you may have not recourse for getting it replaced.
To use the tool head to the link below. Enter your Note 7 IMEI and click the check button. The tool will then tell you if your phone is defective or not. You can apparently also check your Note 7 IMEI status through the Samsung+ app, but only if the phone is turned on which is not advisable at this point.
