How 3 big dealer groups are handling cars on open recall

AutoNation, Asbury Automotive Group and Sonic Automotive have all decided not to retail any vehicles recalled for safety reasons, according to Auto Remarketing.

AutoNation announced last September that it would not sell, lease or wholesale any new or used vehicle on open safety recall. It has since decided to auction some recalled vehicles, with a clear disclosure. Asbury told Auto Remarketing that about 10 percent of its used inventory is affected by safety recalls, and those vehicles are not for sale. Sonic made the same decision for safety reasons, it said.
