# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

NHTSA is hosting a public workshop to discuss options to improve vehicle safety recall completion rates.

NHTSA marked a record year in 2014, with the highest number of vehicle recalls in more than three decades. Last year alone, there were 803 vehicle recalls involving 63.9 million vehicles, including two of the largest vehicle recalls in history.

The sessions will focus on public education of the recall process; customer and dealership outreach; parts production challenges and recall repair rates. The input gathered by the working groups will be used to identify best practices and new approaches for improving the recall process.

*Workshop Procedures.*                     NHTSA will conduct the workshop informally. Thus, technical rules of evidence will not apply. The workshop will include brief presentations and panel discussions with representatives from NHTSA, automobile manufacturers, suppliers, and dealers. There will be opportunities for attendees to ask questions of NHTSA and of the panelists.                

                    To attend this workshop, please register with NHTSA by the date specified under the                     **DATES**                     section above by sending the required information to the person listed in the                     **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**                     section.
