Daimler Trucks North America WARRANTY POLICY LETTER No. WP20-001 Release 01/20/2020 Effective 02/17/2020 Subject One Stop Supplier Extended Program Launch One Stop Supplier Extended Program WARRANTY DEPARTMENT For questions, comments, or to submit an inquiry, go to: DTNAConnect > My Applications > WSC 6121 N Cutter Circle, Suite A Portland, Oregon 97217-4090 Please distribute to: Dealer Principal, Warranty Manager, Service Manager, Parts Manager, Sales Manager Freightliner Dealers Western Star Dealers FCCC Dealers Thomas Built Bus Dealers Direct Warranty Customers Export DDC Distributors Sales Terms (DTR) Used Product (DTR) Travel Centers of America/Petro:Lube In collaboration with the Joint Application Development (JAD) committee, DTNA is pleased to announce that the One Stop Supplier Extended Program launches for DTNA vehicles on February 17, 2020. Before One Stop Supplier Extended, if suppliers offered coverage on factory-installed components beyond DTNA’s time and distance amounts, the associated claims had to be filed directly to the supplier. The One Stop Supplier Extended Program streamlines the claim filing process and supports DTNA’s continuous improvement initiatives because with One Stop Supplier Extended, the service network will file claims for some supplier-supported extended coverages in OWL. The initial six (6) suppliers participating in the One Stop Supplier Extended launch are listed below, more will be added in the future. • Bendix Corporation • BorgWarner, Inc. • Eaton Corporation (clutch and transmission) • Meritor, Inc. • NorthStar • WABCO In general, standard claim filing procedures also apply to One Stop Supplier Extended; see below for program-specific information. DTNA will release additional Warranty Letters as the One Stop Supplier Extended Program expands. Extended coverages purchased from DTNA continue to display as usual in OWL and the claim filing process is unchanged. Program Impact on OWL When the One Stop Supplier Extended Program launches in OWL, please be aware of the following: Coverage • Supplier-supported coverages, if any, are returned during coverage determination. The Coverage Information screen includes a new Supplier Extended Coverages tab which displays supplier extended coverage and reimbursement terms. • To assist with customer inquiries, a general search is available on the Supplier Extended Coverages tab. Users pick supplier, component, and vocation but do not have to enter a vehicle serial number; actual coverage may vary when coverage determination is performed with a serial number. • When the vehicle identification number (VIN) is entered, OWL associates the serial number with model year and vocation and displays only the applicable supplier coverages (e.g., if a user enters a serial number for a model year 2018 chassis with on-highway vocation, the only supplier coverages to show are for that model year and vocation) • The Supplier Extended Coverages tab contains links directly to supplier web pages; use these links to review supplier-specific coverage details, exclusions, pre-approval, claim requirements, etc. • The “Calculate Reimbursement” functionality helps service locations advise customers upfront about what suppliers may reimburse during coverage determination WARRANTY POLICY LETTER Verify latest version online; access Warranty Policy Letters at DTNAConnect > Warranty Lit > Warranty Letters for 6 months after effective date.
