Centreville, Virginia - Thousands of dangerous used cars declared "lemons" in the United States have made their way into Canada and are being resold to uniformed consumers, warns vehicle history report company Carfax.

The company says that a recent report by CBC News highlights the plight of Canadian car buyers who are unaware of their vehicle's status. Carfax offers a free Lemon Check at CarFax.com to help identify vehicles that were bought back by auto manufacturers.

Carfax says that Canada currently has no lemon laws and the strength of the Canadian dollar is driving an influx of U.S. lemons across the border. The company says that cars purchased with a Carfax Vehicle History Report that do not contain information on a lemon branded by a U.S. State Department of Motor Vehicles may be eligible to be bought back by Carfax.
