203  Simplified outline of this Part

      This Part provides for the recall of road vehicles and approved road vehicle components.
      Broadly speaking, Division 2 empowers the Minister to initiate compulsory recalls of road vehicles or approved road vehicle components of particular kinds where it appears to the Minister that such vehicles or components will or may cause injury to any person, or do not (or it is likely that they do not) comply with relevant standards. The supplier must then take prescribed remedial action.
      Division 3 requires a person who initiates a voluntary recall to notify the Minister and certain other parties of the recall when it takes place in the circumstances covered by that Division.
      Division 4 requires the Minister to issue a proposed recall notice before issuing a recall notice, except where the Minister has certified that it is necessary to issue the recall notice without delay. Where the Minister has issued a proposed recall notice, certain interested parties may require that a conference be held regarding the proposed recall. Following such a conference, Secretary must make a recommendation to the Minister as to whether or not to issue the recall notice.
      This Part also provides for various miscellaneous matters, including how it interacts with certain aspects of the recall provisions in the Australian Consumer Law.
