HC Deb 07 June 1978 vol 951 c153W
31. Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what are the legal provisions which require the manufacturers of motor vehicles to advise his Department of potentially dangerous faults discovered in these vehicles after they have been sold to the public.

Mr. Horam

There are no legal requirements. But there is a voluntary system under which manufacturers and the Department exchange information on such faults as a basis for remedial action.
