What is the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan?

If you feel that the efforts by Ford and the Dealer to resolve a factory-related vehicle service concern have been unsatisfactory, Ford of Canada participates in an impartial third-party mediation/ arbitration program administered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).

The CAMVAP program is a straightforward 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, 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 Ford of Canada.

The CAMVAP services are available in all Canadian territories and provinces. For more information, charge or obligation, call your CAMVAP provincial administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685 or visit www.camvap.ca.
