Bill > S1416

This bill, the Promoting Auto Recalls Toward Safety Act of 2021 (PARTS Act of 2021), aims to establish a motor vehicle recall assistance program. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. The Secretary of Transportation must create a program within 2 years to provide grants and other assistance, including technical assistance, to states to inform vehicle owners and lessees about open recalls at the time of vehicle registration. States must agree to notify vehicle owners/lessees of any open recalls and provide the recall information. 2. The bill requires manufacturers conducting recall campaigns to submit quarterly reports for 8 consecutive quarters and annual reports for 3 years after the campaign, with details on the recall completion rates. 3. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration must publish an annual "recall remedy scorecard" that includes the total number of recalls and affected vehicles, as well as the percentage of vehicles that have been remedied, for each manufacturer. The goal of the bill is to improve awareness and completion of vehicle recalls to enhance public safety.
