Allison service outlets shall submit an AWAARE claim on each vehicle completed under the Field Action. Claim

labor and parts identified in Field Action 2020FA01. A Claim Type 4 reimbursement from Allison shall

Replaced Parts:
Tag replaced parts with transmission serial number and hold until the AWAARE claim is approved. Scrap held parts
after AWAARE claim approval.
This is a Global Customer Satisfaction Field Action. The intent is that the customer will bring their vehicle to an
authorized Allison service outlet for the applicable repairs. If the authorized Allison service outlet determines the
overall cost to Allison would be less if the repairs were performed at the customer location, a travel expense will be
allowed. However, this justification must be clearly explained on the claim.
Any additional parts, labor, or travel costs deemed necessary to complete this Field Action must be described in
detail in the claim narrative; if not, they will be deducted from the claim. Allison service outlets must follow the
published Allison Transmission current labor time guide for work performed when adding any additional charges.
