Did you buy a used car recently?

But they cannot change the owner of the vehicle on the records from the Manufacturer, yes they can find out recalls, but you are not going to get a letter in the mail from Nissan Canada or whom ever if you bought a used vehicle.

I've bought many used vehicles, never bothered to register them with the manufacturer and never received anything (despite visiting a dealer for repair / etc).  If you call the manufacturer they will have you on record as the owner for future problems that could come up.
when I bought my used outback, the local dealer updated subaru's records, because I started getting stuff from Subaru Canada.

So maybe they 'can't' do it, but obviously they 'do' do it.

Yes, I did try. I bought an used car from Japan
It is a BMW 3 Series 2007 white color. Except Japanese instruction, I think it is all great condition. The cost is not expensive.

This is the electronic equivalent of finding pamphlet slotted in your door handle or under a wiper blade...useless and anoying
I love it when a plan comes together.
