Companies stopped recalling cars in the Russian Federation: this will be followed by fines and other sanctions up to the suspension of activities

According to Gazeta.Ru, despite the suspension of the supply of spare parts by many automakers, Rosstandart will continue to announce recall campaigns in Russia for cars with factory defects. At the same time, companies that do not comply with these requirements are subject to sanctions in the form of fines and up to the suspension of activities.

Currently, this work is carried out on a regular basis. No decision was made to suspend it. It should be noted that for non-execution of the agreed recall campaign, administrative liability is provided for under Art. 14.46.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. This article provides, in particular, a fine of up to 1 million rubles for legal entities, as well as an administrative suspension of activities for up to ninety days.

About refusals to repair within the framework of recalls, which could potentially lead to an accident, say the owners of warranty cars. Vice President of the National Automobile Union Anton Shaparin said that in such cases claims and lawsuits should be filed. He stated that the impossibility of carrying out recall campaigns will inevitably worsen traffic safety, and the recently established practice of organizing recall campaigns in Russia is being shattered by the current difficult situation.

I am sure that such lawsuits will follow, and I even know that there are legal teams that are already preparing for this process. Unfortunately, automakers do not really think about how to proceed. Their task now is to play an understandable game with the withdrawal from the Russian market, even if in reality it does not follow.
