On releasing a vehicle if there are any open defects with a specific Action Code Priority a notification will display that those defects are still open. This can be used to reduce the chance of vehicles with high priority defects being released into service. In particular this is relevant in cases such as management of Service Quality related defects which can result in fines being imposed on operators.
