Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions. Current availability for your VIN: unconfirmed. YOUR SERVICE QUESTIONS 1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 26V588000 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. What remedy, required parts or software, and appointment arrangements are currently available for this VIN, and which interim instructions apply? The source does not explicitly establish current remedy availability. Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions. Discussion status / answer: __________ 3. Does my VIN have the Limited, Calligraphy or Calligraphy Design equipment covered by campaign 307? The report restricts this issue by trim and second-row power-seat equipment. A model-year match alone is insufficient. Discussion status / answer: __________ 4. Was the second-row seat software inspected, and how is any required OTA or dealer update confirmed complete? Ask for the inspection and update result. Do not use a person or object to test contact detection. Discussion status / answer: __________ 5. Which seating position or restraint component is included, and does the manufacturer give any interim occupancy instruction for this VIN? Compare the answer with the reported component: SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST. Discussion status / answer: __________ 6. 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. A parts list alone may not describe an inspection-based remedy. Discussion status / answer: __________ 7. Which module and software completion record demonstrate that the update for 26V588000 was applied? Ask the service provider how the campaign-specific software remedy is documented. A dashboard reset is not evidence of the specified update. Discussion status / answer: __________ 8. What dated document records the remedy performed under 26V588000, and what should I do if the reported concern remains? Keep campaign completion and unresolved symptoms as separate questions. A saved worksheet or booked appointment does not establish a repair. Discussion status / answer: __________ OFFICIAL LOOKUP DECISIONS Not checked or unavailable: eligibility remains unconfirmed; use the official lookup or manufacturer. 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. The official lookup may omit completed recalls, some recent campaigns or recalls outside its coverage. The listed defect does not prove the cause of a symptom on your vehicle.
