    Brief

    The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is commissioning the British Standards Institution (BSI) to create a Publicly Available Specification (PAS) establishing best practices for managing vehicle defects and recalls in the UK automotive sector. This standard will provide guidance to manufacturers, importers, distributors, and online marketplaces on compliance with type-approval requirements and post-market surveillance obligations. The specification covers critical processes including risk assessment, defect investigation, safety recall execution, non-safety recall procedures, data management, stakeholder communication, service level agreements, and complaints resolution. It also sets out expected practices for the Market Surveillance Authority and includes provisions for whistleblowing protections. Suppliers and automotive businesses should use this standard to ensure compliance with UK vehicle safety regulations and improve their defect management and recall procedures.
