Your campaign-specific service questions

Use these questions with the official report. Keep the answers beside the remedy record; “discussed” records a conversation, not a completed repair.

  1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 26V468000 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.

  2. Which reported phase applies to this VIN, model year and equipment, and what remedy and interim instructions are available now?

    The official record describes phases for the campaign, notifications or remedy. Ask which phase covers this VIN, model year and equipment, and what arrangements are available now. A past phase date does not establish current availability.

  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: ENGINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD.

  4. Which reported corrective actions (install) were performed under 26V468000, and which component or function did they address?

    Compare the provider’s answer with the exact remedy below. Keep the action and affected component on the work order; ordinary maintenance or a visual check may describe different work.

  5. What dated document records the remedy performed under 26V468000, 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.
