SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Mediation/Arbitration Program (for
Canada only)
If you feel that the efforts by Volvo and the
retailer to resolve a factory-related vehicle
service concern have been unsatisfactory, Volvo
Car Canada Limited participates in an impartial
third party mediation/ arbitration program
administered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
The CAMVAP program is a straightforward
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,
where appropriate, render awards to resolve
disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast, fair and
final as the arbitrator’s award is binding on both
you and Volvo Car Canada Limited. The CAMVAP
services are available in all Canadian territories
and provinces. For more information, without
charge or obligation, call your CAMVAP provincial
administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685, or visit
their website at www.camvap.ca.

display a message when vehicle maintenance is
