What must be done if a chassis fails inspection?

When a chassis fails inspection, the appropriate course of action is to evaluate the severity of the issues identified during the inspection. If the defects or damages are significant enough to compromise safety or structural integrity, the chassis must be repaired to bring it back to compliance with safety standards and regulations. In cases where the damage is deemed irreparable or poses a significant safety risk, the chassis must be condemned, meaning it cannot be used again for transport.

This approach not only ensures compliance with inspection standards but also prioritizes safety for all users of the chassis. Simply scrapping the chassis or using it as is without addressing the identified issues would not address the underlying problems, potentially leading to safety hazards. Additionally, painting a chassis that has failed would not resolve any of the mechanical or structural issues, which is critical in maintaining the operational integrity of the chassis. Therefore, the responsible action is to repair or condemn based on the severity of the findings.
