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
See the active fault queue instead of hunting through old inspections.
Fault status, severity, source record, reporter, resolution state, and management actions stay visible in one operational view.

Mobile workflow
A member can report a vehicle problem from the field without opening the manager console.
The mobile reporting path keeps vehicle selection, issue type, condition, and problem detail focused on the task. The resulting fault then becomes visible to the managers responsible for the fleet.

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.

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 |

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.
