The Recalls Tab is accessed via the top section of the Maintenance Control form and is used to review vehicle recall information.
The Tab simply consists of an area that displays a review all the previous vehicle recall work that has been carried out against the selected vehicle.
The focus of the maintenance control form is altered so that the recall tab is displayed immediately if an Outstanding recall record is held against the selected vehicle.
An approval is automatically created for a courtesy car to replace the vehicle that is being recalled. This may be edited or rejected.
The contents of this tab are dependent upon the completion the following:
