The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) wants consumers to know about a national arbitration program, the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
CAMVAP helps resolve disputes between consumers and vehicle manufacturers about defects in a vehicle’s assembly or materials and warranty issues.
Do You Qualify?
- Vehicles that qualify must be from the current or four previous model years with fewer than 160,000 kilometres and weigh no more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) Gross Vehicle Weight.
- Work with the manufacturer - CAMVAP requires vehicle owners to work with the dealer or manufacturer to attempt to resolve the issue before accessing their program.
