US 2025/0148835 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECALL NOTIFICATION

Abstract

Methods and systems for obtaining vehicle recall notifications are described herein. A vehicle having one or more autonomous operation features may receive a notification indicating that the vehicle requires a safety recall. The notification may provide identification information for a vehicle part that needs to be replaced. Additionally, the vehicle may determine whether the vehicle part is currently within the vehicle by obtaining a set of identification information for current vehicle parts within the vehicle and comparing the identification information for the vehicle part to the set of identification information for current vehicle parts within the vehicle. In response to determining that the vehicle part is currently within the vehicle, the vehicle may identify a treatment facility for replacing the vehicle part, and cause the vehicle to travel to the identified treatment facility for replacing the vehicle part.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for identifying vehicles requiring safety recalls using a distributed ledger, the method comprising, via one or more processors:

receiving, by a third-party organization, identification information for a vehicle part that needs to be replaced due to a safety recall;
monitoring a distributed ledger that records current vehicle part information for a plurality of vehicles to identify vehicles associated with the third-party organization having the vehicle part that needs to be replaced, wherein the distributed ledger is maintained by a plurality of participants in a distributed ledger network according to a set of consensus rules;
in response to identifying a vehicle associated with the third-party organization having the vehicle part that needs to be replaced, identifying contact information associated with the vehicle;
and
transmitting, via the contact information, a notification indicating that the identified vehicle requires a safety recall.

2 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions thereon for identifying vehicles requiring safety recalls using a distributed ledger, that when executed one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive, by a third-party organization, identification information for a vehicle part that needs to be replaced due to a safety recall;
monitor a distributed ledger that records current vehicle part information for a plurality of vehicles to identify vehicles associated with the third-party organization having the vehicle part that needs to be replaced, wherein the distributed ledger is maintained by a plurality of participants in a distributed ledger network according to a set of consensus rules;
in response to identifying a vehicle associated with the third-party organization having the vehicle part that needs to be replaced, identify contact information associated with the vehicle;
and
transmit, via the contact information, a notification indicating that the identified vehicle requires a safety recall.
