Second letters will be sent once the remedy is available. Current availability for your VIN: unconfirmed. YOUR SERVICE QUESTIONS 1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 25V202000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions? A matching model and year is only a starting point. The official lookup or manufacturer must establish the individual vehicle’s status. Discussion status / answer: __________ 2. The source describes a pending remedy or parts. What is available now for this VIN, and which interim instructions still apply? The dated official record describes development, future availability or a later remedy step. It does not establish today’s parts or appointment availability. Confirm the current remedy and any interim instructions with the manufacturer. Discussion status / answer: __________ 3. Which electrical component or software function is covered, and what interim charging, parking or use instructions does the manufacturer give? Compare the answer with the reported components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR. Discussion status / answer: __________ 4. 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 25V202000 were replaced, and are they identified on the work order? Keep the replaced items and the campaign number together so that a later visit can distinguish recall work from other repairs. Discussion status / answer: __________ 6.

Campaign listed as open: confirm current instructions, availability and remedy arrangements. Campaign not listed as open: reconcile repair history and lookup coverage with the manufacturer if needed. A zero-open result does not diagnose symptoms. Work order records completed recall work: keep the exact campaign and dated remedy record; report unresolved symptoms separately. YOUR RECORD Check date: __________ Official lookup result: __________ Service arrangement: __________ Existing observation: __________ Questions and work-order notes (no VIN or plate needed): __________ LOOKUP LIMITS A model/year match does not establish VIN eligibility.
