Assembly Replacement Process for Service Agents with Regional Empowerment Level Service Agents with Regional Empowerment Level are not required to contact the PQC for CNG, LPG or gasoline engine, Duramax® diesel engine, transmission and/or transfer case replacement authorization. Service Agents are still required to contact the PQC for any current restrictions or exchanges. Service Management Determines Assembly Repair or Replacement The Service Manager has the authority and the responsibility to make the decision regarding repairing or replacing the assembly. It is still required that the Service Manager examine both alternatives and make the best decision for the customer, while keeping expense management in-line. The past performance of the Service Agent has provided this empowerment within the Global Warranty Management system and your future performance will impact the retention of this enhanced empowerment. It is required that all engine, transmission and/or transfer case assemblies with core charges are retained for 1 day after the Transaction has been paid. Components without core charges that have not been requested to be returned by the WPC must be retained as outlined in the Service Policies and Procedure Manual. Any assembly that is replaced may need to be returned to the WPC for review. Submitting Engine, Transmission or Transfer Case Transactions Into Global Warranty Management — Known Product Issues — Record Retention Service Agents must complete the following Steps 1-6, in order to submit engine, transmission or transfer case Transactions into GWM: 1. Scan the completed Job Card and attach it to the Transaction in GWM. Notice: The Warranty Support Center (WSC) requires that the following is performed on every Transaction. 2. Scan the completed Repair Estimate: Replacement Component Assembly Estimate: worksheet of the Cost Comparison Worksheet for Assembly Repair vs Replacement and attach it to the Transaction in GWM. 3.
