What is the “recall clearance” letter?

Recall clearance documents verify that any defects identified by the manufacturer as a potential safety risk to the vehicle’s operator, occupants and public at large, have been corrected.

Acceptable forms of recall clearance documentation are:

• A letter from the vehicle manufacturer’s U.S. or Canadian head office.
• A printout from an American or Canadian dealership’s vehicle service database.
• The manufacturer’s web site.
