NHTSA VIN Recall

Modified on Fri, Apr 18 at 11:57 AM

Per Matt Brown (LAD Marketing's Legal Team):
The details of our settlement with the FTC require that we display this disclosure whenever we make an inspection claim. Anytime the multipoint inspection is made in reference to a pre-owned vehicle it should appear, it generally won’t be necessary on CPO vehicles since they should have their recalls fixed already.

Placement Requirements

NHTSA VIN recall image (with a functional link that passes the VIN through) must be present near any mention of multipoint inspections.
- This must be directly after the dealer comments section on used, non-CPO VDPs.
The attached, approved image must be used; it cannot be substituted with a generic button or alternate image.
New BMW compliant image, use this image src below for BMW only
