Recalls have been very frequent these days. The car makers really don't want to upset their customers with a mass manufacturing fault. And thus, the recalls.
An interesting thing that took place in a while is the SIAM’s (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) decision to make available the information about the recalls from all the auto manufacturers that deal in India. The organization will provide the recall information on its website.
The data is accessible to everyone and includes the reason of recall alongside other details that can help viewers filter the data. It also includes a list of previous car recalls that dates from October 2012. This way not only will the carmakers will be able to keep the recall data public but also the people who own more than one car brands will be able to find all the recall information at one place.
This is an advantage for the used car buys too as they can easily check that that second-hand car they bought or are about to buy has ever been recalled or not. If recalled, buyers can cross-check with the manufacturer whether the said vehicle was rectified in the recall or not, and in case the first owner has not got the problem sorted, the new owner can at least have it fixed.
The while idea behind the recall phenomenon is to ensure the safety of the occupants. So, any component that is not according to specifications and can cause danger to the life of occupants needs to be replaced by carmakers free of cost.
