8  Recall Database and recall information on Supplier's website
         (1)           A Supplier that falls within categories (a) or (b) of the definition of Supplier must comply with the obligations in this section.
         (2)           A Supplier must establish and maintain a Recall Database on the Supplier's website that allows Consumers to enter a VIN into a search field and obtain immediate information about the Takata recall status of the Vehicle.  The Recall Database must be established and accessible to Consumers by no later than 1 July 2018 or another date approved by the ACCC on application.
         (3)           The Supplier's Recall Database must, at a minimum:
              (a)           inform a Consumer of the model and release year of any vehicle matching the VIN;
              (b)           inform a Consumer of the recall status of any vehicle matching the VIN by identifying its status as any of the following as applicable;
                     1. complete (meaning the vehicle has had any Affected Takata Airbag Inflator replaced and the replacement inflator does not require future replacement);
                     2. active (meaning the Vehicle is subject to active recall at the time of the VIN search, including for replacement of a replacement inflator);
                     3. future (meaning the Vehicle is not subject to active recall at the time of the VIN search, but that recall action will be initiated for the Vehicle in the future, with the expected date of recall initiation stated according to the Recall Initiation Schedule); or
                     4. critical (meaning that the Vehicle is subject to an active recall and the Affected Takata Airbag Inflator poses a heightened safety risk and it is critical that replacement occurs immediately. This will apply to Alpha Inflators and may also be specified to other categories of Affected Takata Airbag Inflators as determined by the Supplier);
              (c)           provide Consumers with a description of the safety risk and what action the Consumer should take, using language approved in the Supplier's Communication and Engagement Plan or if prior to ACCC approval of such plan, consistent with the requirements of Schedule 2; and
              (d)           provide Consumers with the relevant PRA Number assigned to the recall by the ACCC, if applicable;
              (e)           provide Consumers with a link to other relevant information concerning the Supplier's Takata recall (including information required to be provided under this Recall Notice);
              (f)            if Vehicles supplied by the Supplier are subject to future recall initiation, provide a brief explanatory statement noting how and why replacement is being prioritised by the Supplier with regard to the Priority Factors listed in Schedule 1; and
              (g)           provide Consumers with the option to obtain a PDF report of their search (including date of search, input data and search results) for record keeping purposes.
         (4)           As soon as practicable,
