Nissan Partners With Carfax, Gives Consumers Improved Access to Open Recalls

Nissan North America recently announced that it will begin sharing Nissan and Infiniti vehicles’ open safety and emissions recalls with Carfax, vehicle history information company, in an effort to improve transparency for used-car shoppers.

The automaker will provide updated vehicle identification numbers with open recalls to Carfax on a weekly basis in hopes that the partnership will enhance recall campaign awareness and encourage campaign repair completion.

“NNA is working to ensure that customers can access this information through a convenient third-party database,” Nissan stressed.

John Spoon, NNA vice president, parts and service, said,“We strive to have recall campaign work completed in a timely fashion.

“By working with Carfax, we are making it easier for customers to determine if a vehicle has an open campaign and encouraging campaign service completion," he added.

Open recall campaign information reported to Carfax for Nissan and Infiniti vehicles will appear on Carfax Vehicle History Reports. The information will also will be available free to consumers at recall.carfax.com.

“Carfax and Nissan North America are committed to keeping our roadways safe,” said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax.

“Adding Nissan and Infiniti to the list of manufacturers providing open recall campaign information to Carfax helps notify car owners and buyers and gets these cars into dealerships to be fixed," Gamache concluded.
