How to report inaccurate vehicle data or images

What to include in a report

Use the contact form and include enough detail to identify the exact record. A report should normally include the Autotras page URL, the field or image in question, the current value, the proposed correction, and the market, model year, or trim when relevant.

• Link to a manufacturer document, official specification sheet, homologation record, or another reliable reference when available.
• For image concerns, identify the image and explain whether the issue is attribution, ownership, watermarking, duplication, or incorrect vehicle identity.
• Do not send passwords, payment information, vehicle-owner personal data, or unrelated confidential material.

How reports are reviewed

A correction is compared with the existing structured record, available source metadata, related trims, and other generations of the model. A clear source may lead to a direct update; conflicting evidence may require the value to remain unchanged or be marked for further review.

When a correction affects a canonical URL, duplicate page, or published search entry, related redirects, internal links, metadata, and sitemaps are checked as part of the change.

Review priorities

Priority is generally given to incorrect vehicle identity, model year or generation mapping, major unit errors, broken canonical destinations, unrelated images, rights concerns, and errors repeated across multiple trims.

Minor wording preferences may take longer when the displayed meaning is already accurate.

Market and historical differences

Two credible sources can show different values because the vehicle was sold in different markets, measured under different standards, or changed during the production run. In those cases, the preferred correction identifies the applicable market and trim instead of replacing one value with another without context.

Image and rights requests

For an image ownership, licensing, or attribution concern, provide the affected page and image URL, identify your relationship to the work, and include supporting information that can be reviewed. Images may be removed or replaced while a substantiated issue is investigated.

Correction outcomes

Depending on the evidence, an outcome can include updating a value, improving context, replacing an image, merging duplicate records, adding a redirect, changing indexability, or leaving the current record unchanged.

The contact form is the central channel for reports. A response is not guaranteed for every message, but actionable reports are retained for review.
