Automobiles, trucks, boats, and all kinds of other vehicles and machinery or products that need to be periodically licensed or registered should be required, as a condition of their license renewal or re-registration, to be thoroughly inspected to insure proper working order and to satisfy the requirements of any outstanding mandatory recalls. Roadway vehicles should be inspected at least every two years.

The organizations or agencies responsible for licensing or registration, should also be responsible for maintaining a database of all goods that have been subject to recalls and ensure that the owners or those goods know of any outstanding recalls.
