BILL NUMBER:S5289
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to requiring
the commissioner of motor vehicles to monitor manufacturer safety
recalls and notify vehicle registrants
PURPOSE:
This bill would require the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to monitor
manufacturer safety recalls so that registrants are aware of such
recalls, which would help to make the roads safer.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 224-b of the vehicle and traffic law is amended to require the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to monitor manufacturer safety recalls
and notify vehicle registrants of this by publishing the recall online.
JUSTIFICATION:
In 2014, there were over 50 million vehicle recalls in the United States
alone, a number that has been steadily rising since the 1990s. These
large numbers of recalls pose a major threat to road way safety and a
threat to the people who drive these vehicles or those near the vehicle
