Creating a Recall Campaign

After the defect in the product is identified, the OEM develops a comprehensive list of asset numbers that are affected and determines the necessary remedies to correct the defect or replace the product. When the customer is notified of the recall campaign, information is provided about the protocol and process required to carry out the repair work. For example, customers might be instructed to take the asset to the nearest service center, where service center personnel inspect the asset and perform the repairs if necessary. For more information about campaigns, see the topic about planning and designing marketing campaigns in Siebel Marketing User Guide.
