CVT Assembly Replacement Approval Procedures

 If CVT belt inspection indicates CVT assembly replacement is required:
a. Complete the PCC CVT Preauthorization Form in ASIST.
b. Attach the required video (15 seconds or less) to the CVT Preauthorization
Form.


Failure to submit a continuous video showing evidence of belt slip and the
VIN will cause immediate denial of request for CVT unit replacement.

c. Call the PCC for authorization at 800-973-9992 (opt 2).

IMPORTANT: Make sure the video has a clear image of the VIN on the F.M.V.S.S.
certification label (VIN label).
