Safe Cars: Prohibiting Sale and Use of Recalled Government Vehicles
New rules aim to enhance safety by prohibiting federal agencies from selling, leasing, or using vehicles with safety defects subject to recall. Citizens buying or leasing vehicles from the government will be better protected, receiving information about potential defects or remedied vehicles.
Key points
Federal agencies cannot sell or lease recalled vehicles unless the defect is fixed or the buyer/lessee is notified.
If a federal agency leases a vehicle that is later recalled, it must notify the lessee and encourage them to get it fixed and stop using it.
Federal agencies must prevent their employees from using recalled vehicles unless it's for a critical mission and the risks are outweighed.
