Practice question

What are dealerships NOT required to do under the reasonable care standard?

  1. Check auction notices
  2. Contact prior owners unless necessary to clear up conflicting information
  3. Review their own vehicle inspection records
  4. Inspect the vehicle's title

Answer: B — Contact prior owners unless necessary to clear up conflicting information

Dealerships are required to follow the reasonable care standard, which means they must take all necessary steps to ensure that a vehicle being sold is in good condition. This includes checking auction notices, reviewing their own vehicle inspection records, and inspecting the vehicle's title. Therefore, B is incorrect because dealerships are required to contact prior owners if necessary to clear up conflicting information. This option is not a part of the reasonable care standard.
