The proposed regulatory amendments would require companies that issue a safety recall to also publish safety recall-related information on their website, in a timely manner, with the goal of increasing recall awareness and completion. The proposed amendments would standardize the availability and the type of information, provide a timeline by which such information must be made available, and facilitate Canadians’ ability to find recall information — especially in cases where information about the current vehicle or vehicle equipment owner is missing, erroneous, or incomplete.The proposed amendments would also require vehicle companies designated by the Minister of Transport (the Minister) to include an online search tool that would provide safety recall information that is specific to one vehicle, using the unique 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN). In other words, the proposed amendments would require that certain companies provide a VIN lookup tool on their websites.
