Reporter's Take | No more underreporting of faulty vehicle data, thanks to Motor Vehicle Act

The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2019 has made it difficult for vehicle manufacturers to avoid making an announcement of a recall, as they will have to notify the central government every time a recall is made.

“Where a manufacturer notices a defect in a motor vehicle manufactured by him, he shall inform the Central Government of the defect and initiate recall proceedings and in such case the manufacturer shall not be liable to pay fine,” states the Act.
