SB 1154 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to registration of vehicles, providing for open safety recall notice.

SB 1154 requires Pennsylvania's vehicle registration department to check for open safety recalls before issuing or renewing vehicle registrations. If a recall is active, the department must include a notice with registration materials directing owners to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website and explaining that repairs can be done at no cost at a manufacturer-approved location. The bill also mandates that recall information be included in mailed renewal notices and displayed on the online registration portal with a direct link to check recall status. Additionally, the department must conduct public awareness campaigns about vehicle recalls at least twice yearly via social media, email, and website updates. This affects all Pennsylvania vehicle owners during registration or renewal processes.
