United Kingdom

Faults and recalls, China and the UK side by side

China's regulator publishes every recall it orders, and Chinese owners file complaints in public. The DVSA publishes every UK recall since 1992. Both registers are open; the join between them was not, so a UK buyer had no way to see a fault before it reached the British press. This is that join.
