They can force the mfg to repair your vehicle or buy it back, however, according to the stats they publish, the forced buy back doesn't happen often - but importantly, it does happen.
Click here to see CAMVAP rules and stats.
My beef with Ford was settled in my favour when CAMVAP decided that my case was eligible to be heard by them, and the hearing would go forward. Literally one day later a senior rep with Ford of Canada called to say my cheque was in the mail and I should drop my claim - and indeed I got it 5 days later.
Bottom line in my case: wIth just the threat of a CAMVAP hearing, FoC caved. The point being is that many more vehicles may have been bought back than indicated by CAMVAP stats.
