Retrofitting of vehicles with the "ERA-GLONASS" system will begin in January 2022

Car manufacturers, who received a delay in vehicles equipping with the ERA-GLONASS system, will begin to equip cars with "panic buttons" in January 2022. By this time, all automakers will submit to Rosstandart the final reports on cars with the indication of VIN numbers, the press service of the department reports.

The work on the implementation of recall programs will be carried out using a new digital service launched on July 1st of this year, as well as using the provisions of GOST 34725–2021 “Recall of automotive products. A Guide for Manufacturers, Suppliers and Sellers”. All information will be also entered into the electronic vehicle passport system. Car owners will receive information on the need for additional equipment without fail at the stage of purchasing and operating cars. In accordance with the Federal Law "On Technical Regulation", all measures within the framework of recall campaigns are carried out at the expense of the automaker.

These events are free for car owners. As a reminder, earlier, due to the shortage of electronic components around the world, Board of the Eurasian Economic Union allowed automakers not to equip cars, trucks and buses with ERA-GLONASS systems until December 31st, 2022, with subsequent retrofitting until June 30th, 2022. The decision does not apply to vehicles intended for the transport of dangerous goods, as well as the transport of children.
