Owner's/keeper's details


Explanation:
Often "registered keeper" is used in English for "houder". This refers to the person who enjoys the use of something, as opposed to the legal owner.

-> "The manufacturer will take all reasonable action to contact all owners/registered keepers and call in any affected vehicles for inspection".

I\'ve just noticed that my 2nd sentence should read \"This refers to the person who enjoys the use of something, as opposed to *the person who is* the legal owner.\" Enjoying the legal owner would be something quite different, I fear!

  -> The translation doesn't relate to a North American situation, but to a Dutch one.
