LTA's Role and Processes with Respect to Vehicle Recalls

Ms Hany Soh asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether LTA will review its role and processes with respect to vehicle recalls, especially for safety reasons.

Vehicle manufacturers and motor dealers, including parallel importers, are legally responsible for identifying affected vehicles, notifying owners and arranging rectification of safety-related defects. Vehicle owners receiving recall notices should work with their motor dealers to have any safety-related defects rectified promptly. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) facilitates the vehicle recall process by publishing notices of recent recalls on the OneMotoring website, as reported by vehicle manufacturers or motor dealers to LTA.
