Wednesday, Feb. 26 (10-10:30 a.m. CT): Managing Vehicle Recalls in Your Fleet — Preventing Operational Disruptions and Minimizing Risk. Register to attend now.

Vehicle recalls can affect your business in many ways—financially, operationally and reputationally. Recalls are often unexpected, and businesses that rely on fleets must be prepared to respond quickly and efficiently. From mileage reimbursements to company-provided vehicle programs, recalls introduce various risks, including:

• Financial Consequences: Downtime and the potential for lost productivity or revenue.
• Brand Reputation: Negative perceptions of a brand can arise if safety issues are mishandled or not addressed quickly.
• Operational Disruptions: Delays caused by vehicle repairs or replacements can impact service delivery or day-to-day operations.
• Compliance Issues: Legal and regulatory obligations regarding vehicle safety and recall notifications.

Having a robust, well-communicated recall management strategy is essential for any business with a fleet. By acting quickly and proactively, you can minimize the financial impact, protect your brand reputation and ensure your operations continue without interruption. In this session, National Safety Council Senior Program Manager Lonny Haschel will discuss practical steps and tools available to prevent and address recall-related issues effectively. Materials in English and Spanish will be shared to ensure accessibility across your workforce.
