Corrections Policy
Last updated: June 29, 2026
Accuracy is central to AutoTechSpot's value. Vehicle pricing, specifications, recalls, incentives, safety data, and availability change often, so we maintain a corrections process for readers who spot possible mistakes or outdated information.
This Corrections Policy explains how to report an issue, what information helps us investigate, how we review correction requests, and how updates are handled after verification.
How to Report a Mistake
To report a possible mistake, email contact@autotechspot.com with "Correction" in the subject line when possible. Include the AutoTechSpot page URL, the exact sentence, number, table, image, or link that may be wrong, and a short explanation of the issue.
Helpful reports include a source that supports the correction. Good sources include official manufacturer pages, press releases, spec sheets, EPA fuel economy pages, NHTSA recall records, IIHS safety ratings, dealer ordering documents, warranty pages, or other credible references. Screenshots can help when pricing, inventory, or page content changes quickly.
What Counts as a Correction
Corrections may involve wrong prices, incorrect trim information, outdated incentives, inaccurate fuel economy, misstated EV range, wrong horsepower or torque figures, broken source links, incorrect recall details, misidentified model years, unclear sourcing, or article language that could mislead readers.
Minor grammar edits, formatting changes, typo fixes, accessibility improvements, and internal link updates may be made without a formal correction note if they do not change the meaning of the article. Material factual changes should be handled more visibly.
How Corrections Are Reviewed
When we receive a correction report, we compare the claim against the original article, available sources, publication date, update history, and current official information. We consider whether the article was accurate when published, whether facts changed afterward, and whether readers could be misled by the current wording.
If a reader provides a strong source, we prioritize reviewing the issue. If the source is unclear, promotional, anonymous, or conflicts with official information, we may need more time or may decline the change. AutoTechSpot does not update articles solely because a company dislikes an editorial opinion.
Correction and Update Process
If we confirm a factual error, we update the article with the correct information. For material changes, we may update the page's "Last updated" date, add a note explaining what changed, adjust related tables, correct metadata, or revise connected articles if the same issue appears elsewhere.
If information was correct at publication but later changed, we may treat the change as an update rather than an error. For example, a manufacturer may release final pricing after an early preview, a recall may be expanded, or EPA ratings may arrive after estimated figures were published. In those cases, we update the article so current readers see the best available information.
Response Expectations
We aim to acknowledge clear correction reports within two business days and resolve verified corrections as quickly as practical. Complex issues may take longer if they require source review, multiple pages, manufacturer confirmation, or comparison with archived information.
If you submit a correction and do not hear back immediately, it does not mean the issue was ignored. We may be verifying the claim, checking connected articles, or waiting for stronger source material.
Transparency
AutoTechSpot does not silently rewrite material facts to hide mistakes. We may make small edits for clarity or grammar without a note, but meaningful factual changes should be visible through updated dates, correction notes, or revised wording that makes the current status clear.
