CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION
Should this Program mean that you are unable to deliver an affected vehicle to a customer at an agreed handover
date, please advise the customer of the following:

‘Jaguar Land Rover is committed to delivering vehicles to our customers of the highest quality, complete
with the very latest hardware and software. Our vehicles are continually evolving, with our Engineering and
Design teams constantly looking for new and innovative ways to further enhance and develop our vehicles.
Jaguar Land Rover has advised us that there is an upgrade to be carried out on your vehicle, and have
instructed us to complete this action prior to handing the vehicle over to you. Jaguar Land Rover apologize
that this upgrade may delay the delivery of your new vehicle but are committed to ensuring customers
benefit from the very latest technology to ensure your ownership experience is the best one possible.’
If necessary, you may communicate technical details of the repair or upgrade that is required on the vehicle; this is
at your discretion.
RETAILER EMPOWERMENT
We appreciate the frustration experienced by both our customers and Retailers with regards the launch of any
Update Prior to Sale program.
Following the launch of Retailer Empowerment (and where you feel it appropriate), you now have the ability to
offer goodwill to customers who have suffered delays in the delivery of their vehicle. Any goodwill offer should be
specifically for a customer whose vehicle delivery has been delayed due to this specific activity to acknowledge
the poor experience.
Should you have any questions, please contact the Customer Relationship Centre (CRC) in the first instance for
help and support.
