Vehicle maintenance records
Bring inspection, repair, and maintenance records into one review queue without treating a checklist as proof of compliance.
Organize before review
- Identify the person responsible for each record area.
- Locate annual inspection and maintenance-review dates.
- Keep open repair or corrective-action questions together.
- Compare your process with the current official material.

- eCFR: 49 CFR Part 396 (opens official site in a new tab)Current regulation text
A located record can still need substantive review. This organizer does not inspect a vehicle or determine whether work is adequate.
