I read a news story today about car recalls that discussed whether the owner should be required to fix any recall defects before selling in the United States.

This is a complicated topic because requiring an independent dealer or private seller to go pay money to a potential competator (the car dealer's mechanic) to repair a car maker's recall defect seems unfair.

In my opinion, there should be full disclosure on whether the car you buy has been fixed from all manufacturer defects or otherwise sold 'as-is' at the buyer's own risk. Of course, this would require documentation of some form.

If not disclosed, then I think the seller or car maker should pay to fix the problem for free, but this would likely increase the price of any car.

Other countries do require manufacturer recalled items to be corrected before registration will be issued to the new owner.
