Corrected Title
The State DMV has issued a corrected title for the vehicle. Corrected title is defined differently depending on the state. In some states, a corrected title will be issued for removing or adding an owner’s name due to divorce, death or marriage. In other states, details about the vehicle, such as incorrect odometer readings, can result in a corrected title being issued. A corrected title can also be issued when a lien is placed on the vehicle’s title

What is a Title Brand?
Title brands indicate whether a used vehicle has sustained damage or might be potentially unsafe to drive. If a vehicle's title has been "branded," it is an official designation made by a state agency and should appear on the vehicle's title paperwork. Neither individuals nor private companies can brand titles.
While title brands vary by state, some of the most common ones include:
Salvage
Junk
Totaled
Lemon
Flood
Reconstructed
Not only do different states have their own specific set of title brands, but may have a slightly different definition in each state. If you have questions about title brands used in your state, we recommend contacting your state's department of motor vehicles.
