Unsold New Vehicles
The dealer is responsible for testing and charging batteries when the vehicle first arrives at the dealership and while in dealer inventory. Testing and
charging to maintain the battery in a new and unsold vehicle cannot be claimed under warranty. If you let a good battery sit discharged, and it is damaged
from poor maintenance, this is not a defect, and the replacement is not covered by warranty.
If your dealership receives a new vehicle (less than 2 weeks since delivery) with a defective battery (your ED-18 or GR8 states Replace Battery or Bad
Cell, plus the 10-digit code), you can file a warranty claim. You must show the printout from the ED18 or GR8 and the vehicle delivery document (bill
of lading) to your DPSM and request their approval of claim error 3050, No Warranty - In Stock Battery.
You are required to test the battery during the PDI and at final delivery. Record the 10-digit test code created by the ED-18 or GR8 in the applicable
places of the Service History booklet, and place a printout of the tester results in the vehicle file. See RECORD KEEPING in Service Bulletin 89-006,
Battery Maintenance at Dealers, for more information.
Acceptable printouts must have this information:
^
A test date matching the PDI or final delivery date
^
The correct CCA value for the battery tested
^
A Good Battery test result
^
VIN (written by tech on printout)
Client-Owned Vehicles From 0 to 90 Days
Warranty claim error code 3055 was created for battery replacement claims within 90 days of delivery to the customer. It can be cleared only by a
DPSM. For your DPSM to override warranty claim error code 3055, you need to provide this documentation:
^
The initial TQI battery test printout that matches the TQI date or the new arrival battery test printout and the vehicle delivery document (bill of
lading), lists the correct CCA rating, and shows the battery condition as Good Battery.
