PORTLAND, Ore. -

Rapid Recon Inc. announced Monday that it has integrated recall management into its time-to-market reconditioning software for dealers.

According to Rapid Recon, the solution can move cars from the start to the finish of the recon process in three to five days. Rapid Recon’s new Open Safety Recall Management solution, under license from AutoAp, updates the safety recall status of vehicles in inventory inside of its reconditioning software, identifying open safety recalls from the time the car first enters inventory until the car is sold.

“Automating the identification of open safety recalls is a natural and vital step in preparing cars for sale,” said Dennis McGinn, the company’s chief executive officer. “We chose AutoAp Inc., based on their highly accurate recall data and proprietary daily recall verification processes.”

The company hopes that the new feature of the reconditioning software will help dealers reduce their recall liability, increase warranty revenue, improve customer safety, enhance market differentiation, optimize service bay utilization and reduce overhead costs.

“Dealerships find it difficult to stay on top of safety recalls, due to the size and complexity of the problem,” said Mark Paul, AutoAp’s chief executive officer. “With our proprietary processes, AutoAp generates the most-accurate, multi-brand safety recall status available, anywhere. We are excited to partner with Rapid Recon, so that we can reach more dealers even faster to help address this significant problem.”
