Vehicle Accidents and Recalls

Accident Investigation
VOSA conduct Roadworthiness inspections on vehicles involved in accidents
where it is suspected that there may have been a contributory mechanical
defect. This enables us to further investigate reports of alleged safety
defects in vehicles and components. In the case of serious recurring
safety faults, manufacturers conduct a recall under the code of practice
for vehicle safety defects that is administered and supervised by VOSA.

Vehicle Safety Recalls
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) supervises the recall of
vehicles with safety defects throughout the United Kingdom. A safety
defect is a feature of design or construction liable to cause significant
risk of personal injury or death.

The aim of VOSA, the manufacturers and the trade associations, is to
ensure the rate of response to a recall is as high as possible. In an
effort to improve safety, the recall information is made as widely
available as possible. The current recall level is estimated at around
85%, with VOSA and the trade associations aspiring to reach 90% by the
year 2005.

Vehicle Recalls Database
This database records all UK recalls from manufacturers. If a
manufacturer has reason to recall a vehicle it will contact VOSA who then
assign it a unique recall number, which is also transmitted to the DVLA
should the manufacturer need the vehicle keeper information.
