YOUR SERVICE QUESTIONS 1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 23V696000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions?

Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions. Discussion status / answer: __________ 3. Which image, lamp or visibility function is covered by this campaign, and what should I do while the remedy is outstanding?

If an inspection determines which work is needed, what was inspected, what was found, and which corrective work followed? Ask for the inspection result as well as the final action.

Which items in the reported replacement remedy for 23V696000 were replaced, and are they identified on the work order?
