- The decree expired on December 31, 2025, and the SSPC stated that from January 1, 2026 there is no legal basis for further regularizations under that scheme or for extensions.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said vehicles that entered before 2026 may be reviewed under other mechanisms through state governments and Hacienda, and the SHCP emphasized that the only current legal pathway is formal importation subject to customs rules.
- Baja California is pressing the federal government to allow vehicles with pre‑existing REPUVE folios to complete registration under a narrow exception, with eligible cases already identified.
- Coahuila reported dismantling REPUVE modules and estimated 20,000 to 25,000 vehicles remain unregularized in the La Laguna region, with unplated cars subject to circulation limits.
- Authorities warned of fraudulent offers from intermediaries and groups such as ONAPPAFA and AMLOPAFA, while industry leaders said the prior legalization of nearly 3 million vehicles worsened pollution, road-safety risks and corruption.
