Nissan shares recall info with Carfax

Nissan North America said on Tuesday that it will start providing Carfax with information on safety and emissions recalls for Nissan and Infiniti vehicles.

Nissan said it will share vehicle identification numbers of affected cars with the vehicle-history-reports site. Drivers can type their VIN into the site to see iwhether there are any outstanding recall campaigns.

"Adding Nissan and Infiniti to the list of manufacturers providing open recall-campaign information to Carfax helps notify car owners and buyers and gets these cars into dealerships to be fixed," Carfax communications director Larry Gamache said.
