Customers can check whether their cars are covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special micro-site which has been created on the company’s website. As the dealer facilities are currently functioning with limited staff to ensure implementation of safety and distancing norms specified by the government authorities, customers are advised to visit the dealer with prior appointment.
