The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded $500,000 to the California Department of Motor Vehicles under the Discretionary Safety Grants and Cooperative Agreements program. The two-year block grant will support the development and implementation of a state process to inform motor vehicle owners and lessees of open vehicle recalls at the time of vehicle registration or other registration touchpoints. The grant will assist the DMV in establishing recall notification procedures to enhance highway safety. The funding will be used to deliver an important consumer protection service that notifies drivers of open recalls on their vehicles, helping to get unsafe vehicles repaired.
