"Vehicle manufacturers dragging their feet" IGA tells EC
After a meeting with the Independent Garage Association (IGA), the European Commission plan to review the way vehicle manufacturers make security information available to independent garages. At a recent meeting with Maria Rehbinder, Head of Unit, from the European Commission, the IGA, CECRA (European Council for Motor Trades and Repairs) and BOVAG (Independent Dutch Trade Body) presented a detailed report on the problems independent garages are currently experiencing when trying to access security information from vehicle manufacturers. Car manufacturers have an obligation to provide technical service bulletins, recall information, online diagnosis and software updates for new cars.
