B2B Used Car Lot Recall Program

Verify your dealerships to see open recalls in your market across independent and OEM used inventory

The Recalls Near Me™ Program helps dealerships identify vehicles with active recalls currently sitting in nearby used inventory—across independent used car lots and OEM franchise dealerships. Once registered and verified, your service team receives instant access to recall-ready VINs within a 25-mile radius—so you can prioritize manufacturer-paid repair opportunities and capture service work before competitors do.

The Challenge

There’s a critical gap between when a vehicle enters the used market and when a new retail owner is registered. During that window, open recalls often go unclaimed.

  • Recalls are issued while vehicles sit in inventory, not yet tied to a service owner
  • Used car lots hold vehicles with open recalls, creating service blind spots
  • No dealership is clearly responsible, so recall work stalls
  • Competing franchise dealers may capture the recall first
  • Compliance exposure and OEM scrutiny increase over time

The result: lost recall ROs today—and lost lifetime service customers tomorrow.lost recall ROs today—and lost lifetime service customers tomorrow.

The Solution

Recalls Near Me™ turns hidden recall demand into actionable service opportunities for BDC, Service, and Fixed Operations teams.

  • Continuously scans used vehicle inventory across your local market
  • Identifies vehicles with active manufacturer recalls you’re authorized to service
  • Prioritizes opportunities by proximity and brand eligibility
  • Pinpoints exactly where vehicles are located on nearby used car lots
  • Gives your team the speed and tools advantage to secure recall work before competitors

The outcome: more recall ROs, higher technician utilization, and long-term service customer growth.

Why Acting First Matters

The dealership that acts first captures the recall—and owns the future service relationship.

Why Recall Work Is Highly Competitive
  • Delivers guaranteed, manufacturer-paid service revenue with no customer acquisition cost.

  • Creates the first Fixed Ops relationship for that VIN, positioning your store as the default service destination.

  • Increases repeat recall and service return rates, keeping future repair orders routed back to your dealership instead of a competitor.
How We Help Your Fixed Ops Team Act First
  • Identify recall opportunities the moment they appear—before the vehicle is sold.

  • Reach the VIN before another franchise dealer completes the recall, protecting your service opportunity.

  • Capture recall work while it’s still actionable, before the opportunity disappears from your market.
