Abstract

It is necessary to expand the safety on the roads and prevent the damages resulting from the defects of the cars, to know the process of recalling the cars and the necessity of following its rules. Car recall has a special place as one of the after-sales services. Vehicle recall may be issued for defects during production or design, or for defects created after use. Analyzing and interpreting the recall of the car and examining its legal dimensions raises issues such as what is the legal nature of this entity? What authorities can initiate a car recall? The present article proceeds with a descriptive-analytical approach and by applying the existing regulations on the car recall phenomenon, and finally, after analyzing the issue, it concludes that there are several assumptions regarding the legal nature of the recall. Analyzes in the form of warranty, Unilateral contract, additional contract and gloss are proposed, despite this, the hypothesis of independence and specificity of the legal nature of the recall of the car is closer to its nature and nature. In addition to the manufacturer, related government agencies and courts and private lawsuits can initiate a vehicle recall. The purpose of this research is to provide the best practical process that helps the Iranian society to achieve high standards of success when performing car recalls.
