Vehicle fault tracking
Vehicle fault tracking that keeps problems visible after the inspection ends.
Crew Keys turns reported vehicle problems into persistent fleet records. Issues can begin during a vehicle inspection, at return, or from a walk-up problem report, then stay tied to the vehicle through maintenance review, repair documentation, and resolution.
Current product UI
A reported problem should not disappear with the form that found it.
Qualifying inspection findings remain visible as open vehicle faults until an authorized user records what happened and resolves them.

What it solves
Keep vehicle issues in one lifecycle instead of three separate lists.
Persistent open faults
Keep unresolved issues visible on the vehicle after the original inspection, checkout, or return record is closed.
Multiple reporting paths
Capture issues during inspections, while a vehicle is out, at return, or without starting a checkout.
Repair and resolution history
Preserve the source, status changes, repair documentation, and resolution instead of overwriting the original report.
Open Vehicle Faults
Inspection findings remain visible until they are repaired or resolved.
| Vehicle | Fault | Status | Source | Reported |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VAN-117 | Passenger mirror cracked | Open | Inspection | Aug 13 |
| SUV-031 | Brake inspection required | Maintenance | Return | Aug 12 |

Workflow
From reported problem to documented resolution.
- 01
Report the issue
An operator or manager records the vehicle problem and relevant detail.
- 02
Carry it into the vehicle fault record
The issue remains visible beyond the source transaction when it still needs action.
- 03
Restrict the vehicle when necessary
Authorized users can place serious problems out of service or route the vehicle into maintenance.
- 04
Resolve with documentation
Record repair or resolution information while retaining the original finding and history.
Vehicle Inspection & Preventive Maintenance
Use the same Issue / No Issue checklist pattern operators see inside Crew Keys.
| Description | Issue | No Issue |
|---|---|---|
| Tires, Tracks, and Wheels | ||
| Exterior / Interior Damage | ||
| Fuel / Oil / Coolant | ||
| Brakes | ||

Who it fits
For fleets where condition issues affect daily availability.
Shared fleets replacing handwritten defect sheets, maintenance whiteboards, or issue columns in a spreadsheet.
Operations that need drivers to report problems without giving them full fleet-administration access.
Managers who need to understand whether a problem came from inspection, use, return, or a separate walk-up report.
Operational Records
Checkout, inspections, returns, mileage, faults, and preventive maintenance stay attached to history.
| Type | Status | Vehicle | Operator / Inspected By | Started | Returned | Faults |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Checkout | Out | TRK-204 | J. Carter | Aug 13, 18:42 | — | 0 |
| Inspection | Complete | VAN-108 | A. Brooks | Aug 13, 15:18 | Aug 13, 15:26 | 1 |
| Checkout | Returned | SUV-022 | R. Allen | Aug 13, 09:03 | Aug 13, 13:47 | 0 |

Questions
Vehicle fault tracking questions.
What is vehicle fault tracking software?
Vehicle fault tracking software records reported vehicle problems, keeps unresolved issues visible, and preserves status, repair, and resolution history for the vehicle.
Can a problem be reported without checking out the vehicle?
Yes. Crew Keys supports reporting a vehicle problem from the fleet workflow without requiring a checkout when the user only needs to document an issue.
Can inspection issues carry forward?
Yes. Qualifying inspection findings can remain open on the vehicle until they are resolved instead of disappearing when the inspection record closes.
Can a fault make a vehicle unavailable?
Authorized users can use fault and maintenance workflows to reflect when a vehicle should not remain available for normal checkout.
