As of 27 September 2024, the Department of Infrastructure disclosed data on vehicle approvals affected by model report suspensions under the Concessional RAV Entry scheme. Twenty-eight vehicles had approvals issued and remained in force but were not added to the Register of Approved Vehicles due to subsequent model report suspension. Two vehicles were covered by voluntarily suspended model reports by approval holders. Additionally, 17 applications were assessed with warnings that model reports were under investigation and might be suspended; all applicants proceeded despite agreeing to an export condition if vehicles became ineligible for RAV entry. The department noted it has not verified actual importation status, as approval holders may choose not to proceed following approval. Suspensions occur either voluntarily or due to departmental enforcement of non-compliance.
