Protect Your facility from Costly Recall Issues
THE CHALLENGE
Recyclers face serious risks when processing vehicles with unresolved recalls—especially airbags—leading to:
- Legal and compliance issues if recalled parts are resold.
- Safety hazards for customers and liability for your yard.
- Risk of fines for non-compliance
- Without an efficient way to track recalls, recyclers risk unintentional compliance violations, reputation damage, and financial loss.
THE SOLUTION
The URG Recall Program is a fast and automated recall lookup tool that integrates directly into your yard management system (YMS) and provides:
- Instant Recall Lookups – Check recalls for any VIN using the Recall HotKey in Pinnacle Pro, Powerlink 2, Checkmate and CRUSH.
- Batch Recall – Automatically scan your entire inventory nightly and provides a report for recalled parts and vehicles, including airbags.
- VRSS Integration (URG Members) – Access the Vehicle Recall Search Service (VRSS), powered by CARFAX, for real-time recall searches directly from the vehicle or MVR screen.
- Pre-Dismantle Core Report Integration – Ensure recalls are checked before dismantling, helping recyclers decide what to do with affected parts.
- Lost revenue opportunities by missing out on RAS purchasing recalled airbags.
- Time-consuming manual searches for recall data.
- Stop wasting time on manual recall lookups—let URG automate it for you.
The Vehicle Recall Search Service (VRSS) is powered by CARFAX, in partnership with the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the Association of Global Automakers - ensuring accurate, up-to-date recall data.
