Product Safety and Recall Risk Reduction
Find and address component risks before they develop into wider safety issues or recalls. RQA reviews how automotive suppliers identify, investigate and control product risk across design, development, manufacture and supply.
The scope can focus on a component, process or emerging concern, or cover the wider system for managing product safety. We provide clear findings and prioritised actions your teams can use.
Where we can help
- Component and new product risk reviews – assess credible failure scenarios, safety consequences and potential recall exposure.
- Customer interfaces – review how specifications, changing requirements, order controls and technical concerns are shared and managed.
- Supplier risk – examine approval, oversight and escalation arrangements across the supply chain.
- Root cause and corrective action – strengthen investigation methods and the evidence used to select effective actions.
- Technical capability – develop teams through FMEA, Advanced Product Quality Planning, internal audit and supplier audit training.
- Product compliance – help teams understand relevant requirements and how they affect products and processes.
A review built around the decision you need to make
We agree the components, sites, records and stakeholders to be reviewed, then focus on the controls most relevant to the risk. Findings explain what is working, where evidence or controls are weak and which improvements should be prioritised.
