Next Steps/Notes
AOMS/SOMS		AOMs – This Service Campaign may generate questions from your dealers. IMPORTANT: After warranty claim submission for this service campaign, VINs currently in “pending” status will be automatically removed from the recall (Campaign Desc: 20P2197282, NHTSA ID# 20V481) population within a minimum of 5 to 7 business days in Netstar VMI.  Please allow time for the systems to accept the service campaign claim and change the status accordingly. Once the service campaign is closed, the vehicle may be sold. Please advise your dealers to submit the claims as soon as possible to prevent delays. Also, please allow time for the systems to accept the claim and change the status accordingly. Vehicles can be requested to be added to the campaign. However, please be advised that adding vehicles to the service campaign is managed by MBAG and this process will take 1-2 weeks minimum.
