Automotive Component Risk Services
Understand component risk before an incident, prepare for a recall and make sound decisions when technical questions arise. RQA works with automotive component manufacturers, tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers, product recall insurers and legal teams on product safety, recall exposure and complex disputes.
We bring together automotive engineering, manufacturing, product integrity and recall experience to examine the evidence, identify weaknesses and recommend practical next steps.
Why component risk needs a joined up view
One component issue can impact several vehicle makes, models, customers and markets. Exposure depends on the component’s function, how failure could affect safety, which units may be affected and how quickly concerns are investigated and escalated. Clear technical advice and reliable traceability help teams decide what to do next.
Choose the support you need...
For component manufacturers
Review product safety controls across design, manufacture and supply. Improve early warning, escalation and traceability, then test your team’s ability to respond to a potential recall. As a supplier, you have an important role in a potential recall situation.
For product recall insurers
Get a focused technical view of what a manufacturer supplies, how components could fail and how well safety and recall risks are controlled. Use the findings to inform underwriting questions and risk improvements.
For legal teams and claims personnel
Access independent automotive expertise for matters involving alleged defects, product safety investigations, recalls and product liability claims. When a recall cost demand or multi-party matter arises, we can examine the evidence and provide expert advice.
