It has been developed with the cooperation of the Motor Industry Association (MIA) and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).</p> <p> Vehicle manufacturers advise Waka Kotahi or MBIE of recalls – and an assessment is made about whether the proposed response to a given safety issue is appropriate. The recall will be supported and monitored as required. </p> <p> For used vehicles imported into New Zealand, while the responsibility to address any safety recalls lies ultimately with the vehicle manufacturer overseas, the importer of the vehicle also has a responsibility under New Zealand consumer law to ensure the product they are supplying is safe and fit for purpose.</p> <p> The MIA, in conjunction with Waka Kotahi, have developed a code of practice that outlines the responsibilities and obligations in relation to both new and used vehicle safety.</p> <p> The Waka Kotahi vehicle safety recalls process is endorsed by MBIE, who commend the MIA and their members for their proactive approach in the management of vehicle related safety recall campaigns. For more details on product safety recall requirements please visit the Ministry’s Consumer Protection web site.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.mia.org.nz/Codes-of-Practice" target="_blank">MIA’s codes of practice</a><br /> <a title="MBIE Consumer Protection Website" href="https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/general-help/common-consumer-issues/product-recalls" target="_blank">Consumer Protection’s product recalls</a></p> </div> </div> </div><!-- End_Module_391 --></div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class="grid "> <div id="dnn_leftPane" class="[ col large-7 ] threeColLeftPane DNNEmptyPane"></div> <div id="dnn_rightPane" class="[ col large-3 ] threeColRightPane DNNEmptyPane"></div> </div> <div class="grid "> <div id="dnn_ContentPane" class="[ col ] contentPane DNNEmptyPane"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section theme--neutral footer"> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="layout"> <div class="grid grid-flip-small"> <div class="col medium-half"> <p class="small"> <span id="dnn_dnnCopyright_lblCopyright" class="span5 pull-left">漏 2020 Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, all rights reserved </span> <a style="margin-left:5px" href="https://admin.fuelsaver.govt.nz/miami" >Login</a> </p> </div> <div class="col medium-half text-right--medium"> <p> <a href="https://www.govt.nz/"> <i class="i i-nzgovt"></i> <span class="sr-only">New Zealand Government</span> </a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
