Report smoky vehicle

About this service

This online service allows you to report a smoky vehicle.

A smoky vehicle is one that blows smoke continuously for 10 seconds or more.

Please note

You can only use this service to report vehicles that:

  • weigh under 4.5 tonnes
  • are registered in Queensland.
 

To report a smoky heavy vehicle (a vehicle that weighs over 4.5 tonnes), please contact the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) on 13 64 87.

You will need to report the vehicle's make, model, colour and registration, and the time, date and location of the sighting.

What happens once you report the smoky vehicle?

A letter is sent to the owner explaining that the vehicle has been reported and suggests ways to fix the problem. If the vehicle is reported 3 times within 4 months of the first sighting, the owner is issued with a Present Vehicle Order for the vehicle to be checked for defects by a transport inspector.
