Stolen vehicle recovery
Stolen vehicle recovery support for protected fleet vehicles.
Shield, Vision and Vision AI vehicles include a recovery workflow operated by the GRS team. Live tracking and a hidden backup tracker keep eyes on the vehicle when theft happens.
What stolen vehicle recovery covers
Stolen vehicle recovery is the workflow that runs after a fleet vehicle is taken. GRS combines a primary tracker, a hidden backup tracker and a recovery team that works the incident with the fleet and the police until the vehicle is located.
91% stolen vehicle recovery rate. Based on a 2025 GRS dataset of 1,700 protected vehicles. Recovery outcomes vary by incident, vehicle, location, response time and police/recovery-agent availability.
Based on 1,700 GRS-protected vehicles in 2025.
