 "Government of India backtracks on its proposal to make vehicle recalls mandatory")
In a dramatic u-turn, the Minister of State for Heavy Industries, G M Siddeshwara has denied any proposal to make it mandatory for automobile manufacturers to recall vehicles if any manufacturing defects are observed.
In the draft of the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2015, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had proposed a mandatory recall policy for defective vehicles for the safety of customers and improving vehicle manufacturing standards.
In India, vehicle recalls are done voluntarily. Manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota, Maruti and many more have recalled vehicles for defects in critical components such as airbags, brake master cylinders, vital sensors etc.
