Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ922R000085
The State Process For Informing Consumers of Recalls 2022 grant is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Its purpose is to help state motor vehicle agencies build and put into practice a consistent process that alerts vehicle owners and lessees about open safety recalls when they register a vehicle. The core idea is to use the registration touchpoint, when many drivers are already interacting with the state motor vehicle system, to make recall information more visible and easier to act on, which can increase the number of repairs completed and improve roadway safety.
Funding is intended to support several connected pieces of work. First, states are expected to develop or strengthen a method for identifying whether a vehicle has an open recall, which typically means linking vehicle identification information to reliable recall data sources and creating a workable way to check recall status as part of the registration workflow. Second, states must establish a notification approach that actually informs owners and lessees at the time of registration that their vehicle has an open recall, so that the message is delivered in a timely, actionable way. Third, states are expected to evaluate how well their approach worked by analyzing recall completion outcomes, using completed recall data to measure the performance of the notification program and identify what improves follow-through.
A key requirement is that award recipients must implement the notification program for a two-year period and then evaluate the results. In practice, that means this is not just a planning or IT development grant; it is meant to produce an operational program that runs long enough to generate meaningful data, followed by a formal assessment of effectiveness. The evaluation component is built into the grant because NHTSA is looking for evidence on what works, what can be scaled, and what practices could be adopted more broadly.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically the department or office responsible for motor vehicle registration, across the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other eligible state-level jurisdictions as described in the program materials. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 20.614, is administered by NHTSA, and was published under Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ922R000085. The application closing date listed is August 15, 2022. The award ceiling is up to $7,500,000, signaling that NHTSA anticipated substantial implementation costs that could include systems integration, process redesign, staff training, public-facing communications, and program evaluation activities, depending on each state’s existing capabilities and the scope of the rollout.Apply for 693JJ922R000085

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the State Process For Informing Consumers of Recalls 2022 grant?
This is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It supports state motor vehicle agencies in building and implementing a consistent process to alert vehicle owners and lessees about open safety recalls during vehicle registration.
What is the main goal of this grant program?
The goal is to increase the visibility of open safety recall information at the registration touchpoint, when many drivers are already interacting with the state motor vehicle system. By making recall status easier to see and act on, the program aims to increase the number of recall repairs completed and improve roadway safety.
Why is vehicle registration used as the point to share recall information?
The grant is built around the idea that registration is a high-contact, routine interaction between drivers and the state motor vehicle agency. Using that moment to surface recall information can make the message more timely and actionable, which can encourage follow-through on needed repairs.
What types of activities is the funding intended to support?
Funding is intended to support connected work that includes: (1) developing or strengthening a method to identify open recalls for a vehicle as part of the registration workflow, (2) establishing a notification approach that informs owners and lessees at the time of registration when an open recall exists, and (3) evaluating results by analyzing recall completion outcomes using completed recall data.
What does "identify whether a vehicle has an open recall" mean in practice?
States are expected to develop or strengthen a way to check recall status, typically by linking vehicle identification information to reliable recall data sources and incorporating that check into the registration process so recall status can be determined during the workflow.
When must consumers be notified about open recalls under this program?
The program’s core requirement is that the notification approach informs owners and lessees at the time of registration if their vehicle has an open safety recall, so the information is delivered when it can be acted on.
Is this grant only for planning, or does it require an operational program?
It is intended to produce an operational program, not just a plan or an IT build. Award recipients must implement the notification program for a two-year period and then evaluate the results.
How long must the notification program be implemented?
A key requirement is implementation for a two-year period, followed by an evaluation of results.
What is required after the two-year implementation period?
Recipients must evaluate how well the approach worked, including analyzing recall completion outcomes. The evaluation is intended to provide evidence on effectiveness and what practices may be scalable or broadly adoptable.
How is program effectiveness expected to be measured?
The grant emphasizes analysis of recall completion outcomes. States are expected to use completed recall data to measure performance of the notification program and identify what improves consumer follow-through.
Who is eligible to apply for this grant?
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically the department or office responsible for motor vehicle registration. Eligible jurisdictions include the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other eligible state-level jurisdictions as described in the program materials.
