10. SERVICE CAMPAIGNS AND PROGRAMS
Service Recall Campaigns are the automotive industry and FOTON’s means of inspecting and rectifying
manufacturer’s product faults for customers and dealer stock vehicles. Campaigns are vital as they
promote and protect the customer’s safety and satisfaction with FOTON’s products. They enable the
company and the dealer to comply with the provisions of the ‘Industry Code of Practice’ for the recall of
vehicles/parts with safety related defects.
There is a legal obligation for dealers to ensure campaigns are performed in a timely manner.
10.1 Change of Ownership
Dealers must immediately update owner details when they are aware of a change. This enables FOTON
to locate the correct customer when a campaign is outstanding.
10.2 Campaign Claims
All vehicles in a campaign must be inspected and rectified (if required).
