EV Corrective Action Plan Checklist

1. Is each EV corrective action item clearly linked to a specific EV readiness finding — facility gap, manpower gap, tools gap, safety gap, or documentation gap — with the specific criterion referenced?

2. Is a safety impact assessment included for each action item, distinguishing whether the gap creates an immediate safety risk (requiring immediate action before EV work resumes) or a compliance gap to be addressed within a planned timeline?

3. Are EV safety-critical gaps (missing HV PPE, unqualified technician performing HV work, inadequate isolation procedure) treated as stop-work items — not placed in a standard corrective action queue?

4. Is a named individual assigned as responsible for each EV corrective action, with that individual's manager designated as the escalation owner if the due date is missed?

5. Does the corrective action directly address the root cause of the EV gap — not only the surface symptom — with a specific, verifiable change proposed?

6. Is the type of evidence required to close each action defined upfront, appropriate to the nature of the gap (e.g., certification certificate, tool inspection record, installation certificate, training attendance)?

7. Are EV corrective actions with safety implications verified by the HSE manager or a qualified EV competent person before being accepted as closed?

8. Is a due date set for each EV corrective action that reflects the severity — with safety-critical items closed within days, not weeks, and non-critical compliance items given a realistic but bounded timeline?

9. Are overdue EV corrective actions escalated to the Dealer Principal and regional aftersales manager, with no EV safety action permitted to roll forward without a documented decision?

10. Is a register of all open and closed EV corrective actions maintained, visible to both the dealership and the regional team?
