On Sunday 2 April 2023, the PPSR will be unavailable from 1.30am to 3.05am Canberra time (the total outage time will be 2 hours 35 minutes).
This outage will allow for the change from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time and is required to ensure the time sensitive nature of the PPSR remains preserved during the time change.
AFSA is aware of concerns around the inclusion of vehicle safety recall data on the PPSR since our update in early March.
We are working with our supplier to address the issues with this National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System (NEVDIS) data.
From 11:59pm AEDT on 29 March 2023 search results, search certificates and verification statements will no longer include vehicle safety recall data.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Searches that have returned a ‘contact manufacturer’ result can be clarified with the relevant manufacturer.
The manufacturer will always be the most up-to-date source of information regarding vehicle safety recall information.
