How Digicall Assist helped a car manufacturer handle a major incident
The Challenge
Our client, a major importer of new vehicles into Australia, found themselves implicated in a major regulatory breach.
Whilst our client had done their due diligence – and received written confirmation that the vehicle was compliant with all Australian standards and regulations -it was later found that this was not the case, and a number of gaskets in specific models were identified to have contained asbestos.
The Solution
A full risk assessment was completed by an independent safety consultant appointed by our client, who identified the risk to drivers and passengers as negligible.
As the provider of Roadside and Customer Assistance Digicall Assist immediately:
The Results
Approximately 25,000 vehicles were directly affected, but many more owners required reassurance.
The issue was widely covered in mainstream media, which highly concerned both current and previous owners, and this further increased call volumes.
This led to an increase in the number of inbound telephone calls by approximately 1,000% for the first 3 weeks.
The nature of the issue meant some very emotional calls, and we worked with our team to manage these appropriately.
Digicall Assist was in constant contact with our client, the authorized repair network, and the
regulator, to ensure that the affected vehicles were rectified, and that owners were reassured.
Digicall Assist also managed scheduling the large volumes of repairs in each facility, subject to parts availability and the workshop workload.
We continued to respond to subsequent owners of affected vehicles to either confirm rectification had been completed, or advise on the next step in the process.
Digicall Assist prides itself on being there when our clients and partners need us. We were founded by the world’s largest Medical and Security provider and because of that we understand timing is crucial. We can mobilise quickly when incidents occur that have the potential to damage our customer’s reputation.
