Defects

Inspect's Defect board brings together reported defects from your vehicles into a drag n' drop triage system that's simple to operate and efficient to use.

Changes made in the Defect board may be reported or reflected in other parts of MyEROAD, including Inspections, Service Plans and certain Reports.

Defect status

Attention: This defect has been reported, but its existence doesn't affect the legal, safe use of the vehicle, eg. Dented bumper, peeled signage, etc.

Failed: This defect has been reported as damaged, missing or otherwise out of order. It might compromise the vehicle's next regulatory service check, but is safe to operate.

Failed, Not Safe: This defect makes the vehicle illegal, unsafe or inoperable.
