## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF  HEAVY INDUSTRIES AND PUBLIC ENTERPRISES  (SHRI  G.M. SIDDESHWARA)

(a) & (b): Madam,  at  present  there  is  no  recall  policy  in  the  country.  Ministry  of  Road Transport  &  Highways  has  initiated  steps  for  bringing  mandatory  Recall  Policy.   A  holistic approach  is  proposed  in  the  upcoming  draft  Road  Transport  and  Safety  Bill  2014.  It  is  in  the process of notifying a policy on Vehicles Recall, the latest version of which is also hosted on the website of Ministry of Road Transport & Highways.

The  industry  has  announced  a  voluntary  code  on  vehicle  recall  in  July  2012.  Since  July  2012, whenever  a  safety  defect  which  poses  risk  of  accident  or  harm  to  the  vehicle  occupant  is recognized  in  vehicles,  the  manufacturers  conduct  a  voluntary  recall  and  offer  to  rectify  the vehicles  free  of  charge.   There  is  an  increased  awareness  and  initiatives  among  the  vehicle manufacturers  to  perform  recalls when  necessary.  Since  the  initiative  taken  by  Indian  industry, more than 1 million vehicles have been recalled. The list of vehicle recall is annexed.

(c) & (d):

No, Madam. Does not arise.
