Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan CAMVAP

The CANADIAN MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION PLAN (CAMVAP) is a program that can assist you to resolve disputes with an automobile manufacturer when that dispute involves vehicle defects or warranty issues. The program gives you an opportunity to present your case before a neutral third party (arbitrator) for resolution. CAMVAP was created in 1994, to help consumers resolve disputes with vehicle manufacturers, in a way that is fair, fast, free, friendly and final.

Most domestic and imported passenger cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans and multi-purpose passenger vehicles that are purchased or leased in Canada are covered by CAMVAP. The vehicle must be from the current or the previous four (4) model years. CAMVAP conducts its business across Canada and no matter who you are, or where in Canada you live, all cases are handled the same way.

CAMVAP is the alternative to Lemon Laws in the United States. For more information go to www.camvap.ca.
