  • On January 1, 2003, the motor vehicle management system in Korea was transformed from government's vehicle type approval to manufacturer's self-certification. The motor vehicle recall system with self-certification is an essential mechanism to place the liability of the vehicle defects on manufacturers and hence protect consumers from automobile accidents. This study provides a methodology to measure the benefits of motor vehicle recall system in two categories: benefits of reduction in traffic accidents and benefits of severity reduction in traffic accident. Applying the proposed methodology, the benefits of implementing motor vehicle recall system in Korea were estimated. It was estimated that 745 traffic accidents, 12 fatal accidents, and 1473 injury accidents were respectively reduced in 2002 due to implementation of motor vehicle recall system.

  • It is very important to construct advanced recall systems in aspects of developing auto industry through strengthening international competitive power, as well as protecting the lives from traffic crashes by vehicle defects. Under the self-certification system, there may be high probability to be defected vehicles because vehicles are sold without testing and approval of governmental sides, even though the system was introduced to give an autonomy to manufactures. Accordingly, it is not optional, but essential concerns to build advanced recall system. As a result of analysis, manufacturers and consumers ask for improvements of domestic recall systems. In this study, policy guidelines were provided on the basis of analyses on several regulations and questionnaires of consumers and manufacturers. The policy guidelines are clearness of recall subjects, prompt collection of vehicle defect information, objective determination of vehicle defects, continuous monitoring of vehicle recalls, etc.
