If you have experienced an intake manifold or head gasket related problem with your vehicle, the recent Superior Court decision in François Lallier vs Volkswagen Canada Inc. (500-06-000235-040) suggests that it is very important to send a claim letter to General Motors in addition to completing this form.
“Even if all the facts alleged were true, the absence of a claim letter is fatal to the claim, which then becomes non-receivable.” (translation of French original)
The APA does not share Judge Auclair`s opinion, but it is the most recent statement in this matter. Therefore, the APA`s legal counsel recommends that consumers affected by this notice send a claim letter to General Motors.
In order to better prepare your claim letter we have included a reference to the web site of Justice Quebec. We remind you that information is strictly informative:
