Pauli paramagnetic susceptibility $\chi$ is unaffected by the electron-phonon interaction in the Migdal-Eliashberg context. Fullerene compounds however do not fulfill the adiabatic assumption of Migdal's theorem and nonadiabatic effects are expected to be relevant in these materials. In this paper we investigate the Pauli spin susceptibility in nonadiabatic regime by following a conserving approach based on Ward's identity. We find that a sizable renormalization of $\chi$ due to electron-phonon coupling appears when nonadiabatic effects are taken into account. The intrinsic dependence of $\chi$ on the electron-phonon interaction gives rise to a finite and negative isotope effect which could be experimentally detected in fullerides. In addition, we find an enhancement of the spin susceptibility with temperature increasing, in agreement with the temperature dependence of $\chi$ observed in fullerene compounds. The role of electronic correlation is also discussed.
