How to Renew a Vehicle Registration Blocked by a Dealer’s Recall Campaign

May 5, 2025 - 1 min read

Some cars are blocked in the RTA system for registration renewal because of a recall campaign by the dealership. Certain makes and models diagnosed with any manufacturing defect considered dangerous for the safety of the driver and passenger can be recalled globally.

If you are not able to renew your registration due to this, follow these steps:

1. Visit Your Dealership or Any Authorized Agency

Inform them that your car is blocked in the RTA system due to a recall complaint.

2. Recall Repair

The dealership will fix the issue without any charges, regardless of the defect.

3. RTA Unblock

Once the repair is complete and you have your car back, the dealership will communicate with the RTA. The RTA will then unblock your vehicle.

4. Renew Your Registration

After the RTA has unblocked your vehicle, you can proceed with the registration renewal as usual.
