After the factory requests an order adjustment, can the model year change reuse the conclusion from the previous batch?

Updated 2026-09-11By Starvia Automotive

Short Answer

Sets out evidence capture, responsibility judgment, and handling records for model year change exceptions.

The model year change outcome from the previous batch is a reference point only; this batch still needs checking against real records. When comparing production month, model year marking, and the difference list, do not fill gaps with records from a similar model or a neighboring order. The model year change record can be marked complete only after the risk of a new model year replacing the old one without a fresh quotation has been ruled out. The change can be handled with the upstream steps in this import order check guide. A reviewer can walk the judgment path again from the model year change record to confirm no step was skipped.
