Central Government Plans Policy For Vehicle Recall: To Be Made Mandatory
The government is in the process of toughening its stance towards faulty vehicles and faulty components, especially those that involve passenger safety. Reports are that the Central Government is working towards a policy for a mandatory recall of entire batches of vehicles if the number of defects breach a pre-defined threshold (a pre decided percentage of vehicles sold).

The
new
policy,
that
is
currently
under
debate
and
discussion
will
mark
a
shift
from
the
current
practice
of
manufacturers
having
to
resort
to
voluntary
recalls
of
vehicles.
The
policy
will
also
provide
for
cancellation
of
registration
and
licenses
of
the
vehicle
testing
agency
in
case
an
approval
certificate
is
issued.
The
trouble
with
vehicle
testing
agencies
and
the
nexus
between
themselves
and
auto
manufacturers
surfaced
in
2013
when
General
Motors
recalled
units
of
the
Tavera
over
emission
and
other
issues.
General
Motors
received
type
approval
from
the
(ARAI)
Automotive
Research
Association
of
India.
The
auto
manufacturer
had
allegedly
fitted
approved
engines
in
new
Tavera
models
sent
for
emission
inspection.
While we know that the new policy change will empowers the Road Transport Ministry to order a recall a faulty vehicle(s) or component(s), no decision has been reached in regard to the percentage of faulty vehicles of a particular model which would trigger such a recall.
The ministry has also sought suggestions considering that the volume of vehicles produced varies depending on the make and model. For example, a luxury car model sold in a market could be in few hundred in numbers, while another for the mass market could be in the thousands or lakhs.
Thoughts About The Vehicle Recall Policy The Government Is Working On
Good. We need this. There are some manufactures that voluntary recall vehicles when they discover an issue, and there are those that simply do not care. While we are always amazed and entertained with the Central government's policies and laws, we remain unsure about how this one will be executed. The last big change to the law was a heavy increase in traffic fines, and pretty much no one cares, the government included.
