Motor vehicles; allowing Service Oklahoma to provide a list of open recalls for vehicles with motor vehicle registration and notify certain vehicle owners. Effective date.

SB 359 requires Service Oklahoma to check National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data before issuing vehicle registrations or renewal notices. If a vehicle has an open safety recall (defined as federal-mandated repairs requiring manufacturer notification), Service Oklahoma must send owners a written notice listing each recall and stating repairs can be done at no cost by manufacturer-approved dealers. This bill directly affects Oklahoma vehicle owners by proactively notifying them of safety recalls during registration processes. It also protects Service Oklahoma staff from liability for notices, except in cases of gross negligence, and takes effect November 1, 2025.
