Today’s vehicle can have up to 30,000 individual parts, ranging from dashboards to screws. Obviously, automakers do not make each and every part for their vehicles – they partner with suppliers who are experts in individual products and systems. Robust processes, including automotive labeling, are in place to manage networks of suppliers so that quality parts are produced, delivered, and incorporated into a vehicle.
The same approach – a fine-tuned process and trusted partner – should be applied to automotive labeling to ensure it is done correctly, helping to avoid significant cost issues, including recalls and warranty risks. Automotive labeling is a complex process – you don’t just print a label and put it on the vehicle. There are a lot of government-mandated rules and regulations that need to be understood and followed. As new automakers establish their manufacturing processes, vehicle labels are not something to push to the last minute, as it takes more than 4 months to have vehicle labels approved and in place before hitting the dealer lot. So, getting your vehicle labeling right in the first place helps in the long run.
Don’t let a label containing missing or erroneous information put you at risk for vehicle recalls and the resulting financial implications, delays, and other critical issues that can occur.
