Wisconsin Motor Vehicle Salesperson Manual Practice Test

If a vehicle has a pending recall, how should this information be disclosed by the dealer who is franchised to sell the make?

1. Through written disclosure

2. By a verbal warning to the buyer

3. Through a notice at the dealership entrance

4. By updating the information on the dealership's website

The correct answer is: Through written disclosure

A Through written disclosure is the best way to ensure that the buyer is aware of the vehicle's pending recall. Written disclosure provides a clear and concrete communication of the information, making it less likely for misunderstandings or confusion to occur. This option also allows the buyer to have a tangible record of the disclosure for future reference. B: By a verbal warning to the buyer is not as reliable as written disclosure. Verbal communication can be easily forgotten or not fully understood, leading to potential issues or misunderstandings. It also does not provide a tangible record for the buyer to refer to. C: Through a notice at the dealership entrance may not be seen by all potential buyers, especially those who are browsing the dealership's inventory online or have already entered the dealership. It is also not a guaranteed way of ensuring that the buyer will see the notice. D: By updating the information on the dealership's website is not as effective as written disclosure. The buyer may not check the website or may not know where to find the information. It also does not provide a tangible record for the buyer to refer to.
