RVDA Board Approves Repair Event Cycle Time Resolution and FY27 Budget

The RVDA Board of Directors approved a resolution reaffirming the association’s commitment to continuous improvement of Repair Event Cycle Time (RECT) during its June meeting in Washington, DC.

The resolution states that: The RVDA Board of Directors acknowledges the RV industry’s shared strategic goal of improving RECT reporting and enhancing parts identification across dealership and manufacturing systems. The Board affirms that RECT is a shared operational challenge requiring ongoing collaboration among RV dealers, RV manufacturers, and component parts suppliers.

The Board further recognizes that improvements in warranty administration can lead to faster repairs, reduced vehicle downtime, and improved customer experiences. As part of this commitment, the Board supports continued efforts across the RV industry to strengthen warranty processes that contribute to reducing RECT.

The statement emphasizes that it encourages lawful, independent action and does not establish or recommend uniform warranty standards, timelines, or reimbursement practices, nor does it authorize or imply coordination of competitive behavior.

The resolution was advanced to the Board of Directors by RVDA’s Industry Relations Committee.

In other business, the Board approved the association’s FY2027 program, plan, and budget. The $4.31 million budget supports RVDA’s strategic priorities, including advocacy initiatives on behalf of dealer members, member benefit programs, industry relations projects such as RECT improvement, and fixed‑operations education and training offered through the Mike Molino RV Learning Center.
