What action must be taken if a vehicle fails an inspection?

When a vehicle fails an inspection, the primary requirement is for the owner to address the issues that caused the failure. This involves repairing the vehicle to ensure it meets safety and emissions standards as outlined by Maryland law. After the necessary repairs are completed, the owner must schedule a re-inspection. This process allows for the vehicle to be officially evaluated again to confirm that it now complies with all regulations.

Repairing the vehicle and obtaining a re-inspection is essential not only for legal compliance but also for the safety of the driver and others on the road. The focus on making the necessary repairs ensures that vehicles operate safely and do not pose a risk due to mechanical failures or emissions concerns.
