Why Operators & Transport Managers Need Recall Checks

Under DVSA guidance for maintaining roadworthiness, Operators and Transport Managers must check vehicle recalls regularly and keep an auditable log showing the checks have been done. A practical standard is to check at least once every quarter. Because the official DVSA/DVLA recall dataset is refreshed monthly, our paid service performs automatic monthly recall checks for your HGV/PSV fleet and keeps your log up to date—supporting your compliance vehicle recall check obligations.
