Important Notice - Vehicle safety recall

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.

    Our new PPSR Car Check has been designed to provide key information from a PPSR vehicle search in a simpler format.

    You’ll know at a glance if the vehicle you’re looking to buy has any registered security interests against it, if it’s been reported written off or stolen, or if it is subject to a vehicle safety recall.

    The important details are still available in an official PPSR certificate which is emailed to you, providing peace of mind.

    The search has been optimised for mobile devices, making it even easier to get the essential information you need when you need it.
