Breakdowns, Spare Part Shortages, and Service Center Closures
Thailand’s Consumer Protection Board has decided to file civil lawsuits against businesses to recover damages (reported as exceeding 103.1 million baht) related to consumer harm, in the context of issues such as service disruptions and parts/service availability.
