My daughter and her husband are buying a new vehicle; the dealership calls and asks?

who else is driving this car? My son-in-law says my wife and they tell him that he may have to give the car back because she isn't on the lean papers he just signed. I know my husband is buying a car and I'm not on the papers and I haven't been told this anyone know what rights they have on this matter? Any help is appreciated on the matter. Thank you

Update:

Thank You "lien" and I thought that is the way it should be but she just told me that they want to add her to it as well thanks for answering this.

    It's a "lien" and it's on the car, not the drivers.

    However, if the car is registered to both of them with an "OR" between their names, they may want her name on the lien so that she can sell the car without his involvement. If it was "AND" between their names, then both people must sign to sell the car, and in that case it wouldn't matter if the lien doesn't name her. She wouldn't be able to sell the car w/o his signature, so the absence of her name on the lien wouldn't matter.

    Where the "OR" vs "AND" comes into play is if one of the two dies or disappears and the other wants to sell the car. It's more convenient to have it written as "OR" if the people trust one another.
