Build a Recall Management App with Glide

A Recall Management app built on Glide helps dealers and fleet operators track open safety recalls across their vehicle inventory and customer base — ensuring no vehicle in your care has an unaddressed safety issue and giving service departments a structured workflow to schedule, complete, and document recall repairs. GlideApps Agency understands that recall compliance carries regulatory and reputational stakes that generic task management software isn't designed to handle.

What does building a Recall Management app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your Recall Management app

VIN-Based Recall Status Lookup

Check the recall status of any vehicle in your inventory or service database against NHTSA records by VIN, automatically flagging vehicles with open recall campaigns that require customer notification or service scheduling.

Open Recall Campaign Tracking

Maintain a live dashboard of all active recall campaigns affecting vehicles in your inventory or customer base — with campaign descriptions, parts availability status, and percentage of affected vehicles already remediated.

Customer Recall Notification Workflow

Automate outbound notifications to customers with affected vehicles, including recall details, required action, and a direct booking link for their recall repair appointment — all tracked so no affected customer falls through the cracks.

Recall Repair Documentation & Closure

Service advisors document completed recall repairs with part numbers, labor codes, technician sign-off, and OEM claim submission reference numbers — creating a permanent compliance record per vehicle and per campaign.

Ongoing maintenance, feature iterations, and scaling support. We don't disappear after launch.

Frequently asked questions about Recall Management apps

Does the app integrate directly with NHTSA recall data?+

Yes — we integrate with the NHTSA Recalls API so the app can check any VIN against current recall campaigns in real time, eliminating manual lookups on the NHTSA website for each vehicle.

How do we handle vehicles sold to customers who haven't been reached about open recalls?+

We build a sold vehicle recall tracking view that maintains records of all vehicles sold from your inventory along with their recall status — flagging records where the customer hasn't responded to outreach so your team can follow up.

Can the app track OEM reimbursement claims for completed recall repairs?+

Yes — we build a claims tracking module where service teams log recall repair completion, reference the OEM claim submission, and track reimbursement status through to payment receipt — ensuring no warranty reimbursement is left unclaimed.

Can fleet managers check recall status across an entire fleet at once?+

Yes — we build a batch recall check feature where fleet managers upload a VIN list and receive a report showing recall status for every vehicle simultaneously, making portfolio-level compliance review a matter of minutes.

How do we notify customers of recalls without exposing our full customer database?+

The notification workflow operates within your app's access controls. Customer contact information is used for outbound messaging but is not exposed to unauthorized users, and notification logs are maintained per customer record.
