Looking at a 2020 Scab. What does this Carfax say to you? Should I be concerned?

So my local dealer agreed to pull the oasis report. Doesn’t show anything like the Carfax. What gives?
I don't know how or why, but not all OASIS reports are created equal. I had my local dealer pull one on my truck before I bought it. Didn't show squat. I found this forum and had @FordTechOne pull a report for me and it had all the past service info on it. I have no idea what he did different or what the dealer didn't do correctly though.

Yeah, it was like the guy who pulled it for me. Thought I was crazy when I was showing him the Carfax like none of that work had been done.

Carfax is bullshít. There's another recent post where a member went to look at a vehicle that had been stolen, the whole dash torn out. Now the carfax is clean. I suspect that the carfax report says anything the Ford dealer wants it to say.

Probably true but in this case that would mean the dealer is covering something up by not putting it on the oasis, right?

Generally only warranty claims and recalls are entered into OASIS. So if they serviced the vehicle outside of any type of extended service contract it won’t be included.

It was outside the 3 year 36K mile warranty so probably the computer modules were not warranty claims I guess.
