For vehicles delivered to authorized

impartial third party
mediation/arbitration program
administered by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
The CAMVAP program is a straight
forward and relatively speedy
alternative to resolve a disagreement
when all other efforts to produce a
settlement have failed. This procedure
is without cost to you and is designed
to eliminate the need for lengthy and
expensive legal proceedings.
In the CAMVAP program, impartial
third-party arbitrators conduct
hearings at mutually convenient times
and places in an informal
environment. These impartial
arbitrators review the positions of the
parties, make decisions and, when
appropriate, render awards to resolve
disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast,
fair, and final as the arbitrator’s award
is binding on both you and Ford of
Canada.
