Amazon Used Cars Can List Open Recalls Without Warnings

Amazon trained people to trust the “Buy Now” button. That’s why this story lands like a betrayal: lawmakers say you can shop a used car on Amazon without a clear, upfront warning that the car you want has an open safety recall.

And no, this isn’t a niche edge case. Amazon is pushing hard into the used-car buying flow, where the product page is supposed to do one job: tell you the truth before you commit. If recall status isn’t front-and-center, the page becomes a confidence machine that quietly omits the one fact that matters most.
