Recall Masters develops solutions that help the automotive industry drive revenue and support retention above and beyond recalls through its R+ Premium solution. The customer acquisition and retention platform leverages best-in-class vehicle owner data to connect 2nd/3rd/4th generation owners – 3X more customers and prospects than what is visible to even the manufacturers. Repeat servicing is supported through a targeted retention card effort that broadens the reach to lost and lapsed customers before they defect. The turnkey, fully-integrated customer lifecycle management solution creates greater recall awareness and helps automakers protect their brand.
For OEMs and many dealerships, recall compliance is not only a priority for mitigating risk, but it’s also paramount for protecting the brand. More than 1 in 4 vehicles on the road today have an open recall. While it’s a crisis for all consumers and the entire auto industry, it’s also an opportunity for dealerships to be a beacon of safety in their community. We’re proud to deliver results that:
- Acquire First Time Customers
- Increase Customer Pay Revenue
- Increase New Vehicle Sales
- Win Back Inactive Customers
- Enhance Overall Service Retention
- Save CSI & Preserve Brand Integrity
- Supercharge Retention Efforts with R+ Premium
Explained: Our Proprietary Process for Recall Management
Recall & Vehicle Owner Intelligence
Our technology and knowledgebase make us #1. Trusted by the largest dealer groups and OEMs, our platform analyzes data from more than 50 sources to target strategic recall opportunities. Superior data enables you to service more customers better and faster and upsell more services and vehicle sales.
We Build Your Customized Recall Department
From a Call Center Hotline team that fields consumer inquiries and schedules service appointments to a Recall Department webpage that captures leads, our many innovative solutions are integrated into your existing processes in order to empower your staff and keep consumers connected to your dealership.
Multi-Channel Communications Services
Our ground-breaking, multi-touchpoint communications drive traffic to your dealership. Digital forensics technology identifies active recalls that were never completed. Target 3X more recalls than previously realized by tracking down current/secondary owners. Put OEM and NHTSA-compliant communications to work for you.
High-Engagement Retention Solutions
The data shows that if consumers service with you, there’s a 74% chance they’ll buy their next vehicle from you. But your retention effort requires a real boost – it needs to convince consumers to take action. With R+ Premium, RM engages consumers through recalls, then retains new and existing customers through our proprietary retention solutions.
The Results
Every dealership and market is different, but one outcome is consistent – ROI! These results don’t come easy, as evident in other “recall” efforts that don’t employ digital forensics and multi-channel communications. It’s one thing to uncover VINs with open recalls, and quite another driving customers into your dealership.

The Trump Administration, having entered into negotiations with Mexico and Canada over import tariffs, turns its head towards China. On February 4, 2025, the U.S. imposed a 10% tariff on a broad range of Chinese imports. This action was part of an effort to address issues such as the fentanyl crisis and trade imbalances. The U.S. has also eliminated the de minimis exemption, which previously allowed goods valued under $800 to enter the country duty-free. This change affects many low-cost items, particularly from Chinese e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu, potentially leading to increased costs and shipping delays. What about the threat of Chinese vehicle imports?
Certain sectors have been subject to higher tariff rates. For instance, electric vehicles imported from China face a 100% tariff, while steel and aluminum imports are subject to a 25% tariff. Trump granted a “cooling off” period with Mexico and Canada…read the entire blogpost here.

It feels great when customers shower praise on your store and recognizes, but the real learning opportunity comes from the harsh criticism and negative feedback from customers.
