PORTLAND, Ore. –

A dealer organization and a service provider are joining forces to comply with a new mandate coming in Tennessee involving vehicle recalls.

Looking for ways to help Tennessee dealer members better identify safety recalls and streamline new recall compliance efforts requiring recall disclosure to consumers prior to sale, the Tennessee Automotive Association has entered into a strategic alliance with recall management service provider AutoAp.

The move is an attempt to help dealers comply with the Tennessee Motor Vehicle Recall and Disclosure Law that goes into effect in January.

“During our efforts to secure the passage of the Tennessee Motor Vehicle Recall and Disclosure Law, we became aware of the real-life difficulties dealers experience in seeking to identify recalls,” Tennessee Automotive Association president Bob Weaver said. “We set out in search of a strategic partner to help our members with an effective compliance solution, and AutoAp’s Dynamic Recall Management service does just that.

“Choosing AutoAp was the right thing to do,” Weaver continued.

AutoAp’s suite of safety recall management solutions can help dealers make informed decisions at vehicle acquisition, reduce recall liability and streamline recall compliance requirements for vehicles in inventory, and generate net-new service revenue from their sold customer vehicles.

“We are honored that the Tennessee Automotive Association has chosen AutoAp. With this strategic alliance, Tennessee motor vehicle dealers are assured of receiving the highest quality and comprehensive safety recall management solutions,” AutoAp chief executive officer Mark Paul said.
