Recall protection for independent dealers

Every VIN.
Every night.

A car that's clean at auction can pick up a federal safety recall while it sits on your lot. Swept checks your entire inventory against NHTSA recall data while you sleep, flags the cars you can't deliver, and keeps timestamped proof that you checked.

Run one VIN through the beam

Paste any VIN. You get the same check, the same status, and a sample disclosure certificate — exactly what every car on your lot gets nightly.

The problem

Clean at the auction isn't clean forever

Federal safety recalls are issued every week and they don't schedule themselves around your inventory. The exposure lands on whoever hands over the keys.

01

Recalls land mid-hold

You checked the VIN at the auction. The recall dropped on day 40 of a 60-day hold. Nothing on your lot tells you and the buyer's attorney will know the date.

02

Liability rolls uphill

Sell a car with an open safety recall and the manufacturer's defect becomes your courtroom problem. Franchise stores get paid to fix recalls. Independents just carry the risk.

03

A lookup isn't a paper trail

A free VIN check proves nothing about the day you sold the car. What protects you is a timestamped record of every check, every night, kept forever.

The sweep

Set it once. Covered every night.

1

Drop your inventory

Paste VINs in any format or drop the file you already have: CSV, Excel, even the auction PDF. Swept finds every VIN inside automatically and checks each one on the spot.

2

We sweep while you sleep

Every night, every VIN on your lot is checked against federal NHTSA recall data. New recall on one of your cars? You know before you pour coffee.

3

Wake up to a verdict

One screen, three colors. Green is clear, amber needs review, red doesn't leave the lot. Every check is stamped into a permanent audit log.

The paper trail

Proof you can hand across the desk

At the point of sale, Swept runs one final check and generates a recall disclosure certificate: the vehicle, the VIN, the exact timestamp, the result, and a buyer acknowledgment line.

Every certificate gets a permanent public verification link, so a buyer, a lawyer, or an auditor can confirm it years later. That's the difference between saying you checked and proving it.
