Trick or treat? How revocable campaign and free repair LADA Vesta empty pockets of pensioners

Though do not buy Lada, living away from the service center.

AvtoVAZ announced the launch of a revocable campaign, which applies to the LADA Vesta model, implemented from September 2019 until the present, but not all. The reason for the recall is the mismatch in the configuration of the upholstery of the central pillar.

A total of 381 vehicles are subject to recall, which official AvtoVAZ dealers will check on their services, and if “suspicions” are confirmed, eliminate the defect for free – change the upholstery. Owners of “revocable” cars will soon begin to be notified, but you can without waiting to check on the Rosstandart website whether there is a “Vesta” in the revocation list by VIN code.

Also, 1281 copies of the new LADA XRay are subject to verification of the correct tracing of the instrument panel harness. Defects on both models are not critical, and the technical and operational characteristics of the car are not affected, but are eliminated free of charge. However, some motorists faced a choice: to get the “perfect Vesta” by going to the dealer, or to “score”, since such a free repair is “more expensive”. Pensioners with a small pension are especially outraged.

So for years saving up for a new car and not having a number of official dealers, motorists behind the long-awaited car must travel considerable distances. Now, when the timing of the next MOT has not yet come, you will have to fork out for a round-trip trip again, spending 1-2 days. The owner of the LADA Vesta, who fell under the revocable campaign, complained about this situation on the network.

The man noted that the identification, recognition and free elimination of the “jamb” is, undoubtedly, a big plus for AvtoVAZ, only such a free repair will result in a good half of the pension. The nearest LADA dealer is 600 km from his place of residence, and it’s clear that he can handle it in 1 day. The cost of fuel for the round trip, most likely, will have to stop in the city at night, plus food – this translates into a considerable amount of unplanned expenses. Maybe her, that stance?

AvtoVAZ, of course, will not compensate for the costs. However, in order to prevent such situations from happening again, it might be worth expanding the LADA dealer network.
