Q & A

What is a parallel import or grey market vehicle?​

A parallel import vehicle—also known as a grey market vehicle—is one that has been imported into a country or region through channels not authorized by Stellantis or its official distributor in that territory.

These vehicles were typically manufactured for sale in a different market and may therefore:

  • Notcomply withlocal safety, emissions, or certification standards.
  • Lack compatibility with regional diagnostic systems or service tools.
  • Not be eligible for warranty or service support, except where required by local law.
​ Can grey import vehicles be serviced at authorized dealerships?

Authorized service centers may, at their discretion, accept grey market vehicles for servicing.

However:

  • They are notobligatedto provide service or warranty support for such vehicles.
  • Warranty coverage is not guaranteed, and any provision of warranty shall be subject to local mandatory laws and regulations.
  • Parts compatibility or diagnostic support may be limited due to differences in vehicle configuration and market specifications.
What are the risks of buying a parallel import vehicles?
  • Limited availability of spare parts.
  • Potential incompatibility with local fuel, emissions, or software standards.
  • The navigation system, telematics, and infotainment system depend on the vehicle's origin and cannot be updated to meet EUspecifications
  • Resale value may be lower than vehicles sold through official channels.
How can I identify a parallel import vehicle?​

Look for:

  • A VIN or specifications that do not match local market standards.
  • Missing official service records from regional dealers.
  • An owner’s manual or labels in a foreign language.
  • The original destination country listed on the build sheet.

​ Will software updates or OTA features work on grey market vehicles?

In most cases, no:

  • OTA (Over-the-Air) updates and connected services (such as telematics or infotainment updates) notfunction properly or may be region-locked.
  • The vehicle may not be eligible for future software updates or improvements.
What is the manufacturer's position on grey market vehicles?

Manufacturers and authorized distributors do not recommend the purchase or import of grey market vehicles due to associated risks and lack of support, as these vehicles are not necessarily designed according to regional specifications.
