Volvo India Extends Warranty On Its Cars Due To The Current Nationwide Lockdown

Seeing the current scenario, Volvo Car India has extended the warranty on its cars till May 31. This action has been taken by the company to reduce the inconvenience to customers during the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown across the country. This will cover customers who had the warranty expiring during the lockdown period beginning March 22, 2020, up until May 3, 2020 (till when the lockdown is expected currently).

Charles Frump, Managing Director, Volvo Car India said, "The health and safety of our employees and customers are of paramount importance for us. We fully support the Government's lockdown initiative in order to curtail the spread of COVID-19, during the lockdown some of our customers may have faced warranty issues and we are happy to extend the warranty till 31st May 2020 for customers whose warranty ends between 22nd March and 3rd May 2020."

The decision of the warranty extension required a series of steps taken by Volvo Car India as part of its overall health and safety plan to decrease the risks associated with COVID-19. Also last month, the company had closed all dealerships and allowed work from home to protect its customers and employees against the pandemic.

Since everything in the nation has come to a halt because of the pandemic all manufacturers are helping their customers and staff in whatever way they can. Volvo by introducing the extended warranty policy has also made the right decision. Volvo India is continuously analyzing the situation and will take appropriate measures when required in the near future.
