How is Stellantis TSV different from GM PRR or Ford GIR?

Functionally similar: all three are OEM-specific supplier quality event tracking systems with defined response-cycle expectations. TSV is Stellantis's system, PRR is GM's, GIR is Ford's. Format details and closure workflow vary by OEM.

What TSV closure timeline should suppliers expect?

Standard TSVs typically close within Stellantis SQA target windows of 30 to 60 days depending on severity. Higher-severity events target faster closure. Suppliers with on-site presence typically close in the first half of the window.

Do TSV requirements vary across Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler plants?

TSV baseline is the same but brand-specific customer requirements apply: Ram adds heavy-payload durability considerations, Jeep adds off-road capability, Chrysler Pacifica adds luxury minivan NVH scope. See our brand-specific requirements guide.

How can IDS help with active TSV response?

IDS provides same-day on-site TSV response at Stellantis metro Detroit plants and Windsor. Common engagements include containment coordination, customer-facing communication, Stellantis Global 8D preparation, and closure verification support.

What triggers TSV escalation to Stellantis-imposed containment?

Multiple TSVs on similar defect modes in a rolling 6-month window, failure to close TSVs within Stellantis SQA target windows, or a major escape event. Pattern issues typically trigger elevated scrutiny before formal containment programs.

Key Takeaways

Stellantis TSV (Tracking System for Verification) is Stellantis's formal supplier quality event tracking system, parallel to GM PRR and Ford GIR.

First 72 hours after TSV issuance are decisive: same-day acknowledgment, 24 to 48 hour on-site presence, 72-hour written containment plan.

Stellantis SQA response cycle targets are aggressive across Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler brand plants. Slow response impacts scorecard directly.

Global 8D format is required. D5 and D6 discipline is the most common closure rejection point.

Repeated TSVs on similar defect modes within a 6-month window can trigger Stellantis-imposed containment or supplier quality development engagement.

A Stellantis TSV has just been issued against your part number at Ram Warren Truck, Sterling Heights, Detroit Assembly Complex, Windsor, or another Stellantis facility. The next 72 hours determine closure cycle time and scorecard impact.

This guide covers how to respond to a Stellantis TSV, what closure velocity looks like in 2026, and how to prevent TSVs from compounding. For emergency TSV response support, contact IDS at 905-260-2388.

What TSV Is

TSV (Tracking System for Verification) is Stellantis's formal supplier quality event tracking system. Parallels GM PRR and Ford GIR. When a plant quality contact issues a TSV, it enters the Stellantis SQA database, begins accumulating supplier scorecard impact, and stays open until the customer SQE confirms closure.

The First 72 Hours

Hour 0 to 4: Acknowledge

Same-day written acknowledgment to the plant quality contact. Establishes supplier response tree and commits to next-update timing. See our first hour playbook.

Hour 4 to 48: On-Site Presence

On-site presence at the Stellantis plant within 24 to 48 hours for material events. Suppliers responding only remotely close TSVs materially slower and see compounded scorecard impact.

Hour 48 to 72: Containment Plan Documented

Written containment plan submitted with specific gauges, criteria, dates, and verification approach. Stellantis SQA reviews containment scope during TSV closure verification.

TSV Closure Sequence

Containment complete with quantities reported to Stellantis SQA
Root cause identified and verified with data
Permanent corrective action implemented with control plan updated
Verification data collected with statistically meaningful sample sizes
Read-across analysis complete for similar programs and platforms
Stellantis Global 8D submitted with meaningful D5 and D6
Customer SQE closure confirmation in Stellantis SQA system

Common TSV Closure Failures

D6 verification too thin without statistically meaningful sample sizes
Missing brand-specific requirements (Ram vs Jeep vs Dodge vs Chrysler have different customer-specific requirements)
Under-scoped containment missing in-transit or Stellantis dock coverage
Slow customer communication cadence between milestones
Missing read-across to similar Stellantis platforms

Preventing TSV Compounding

Multiple TSVs on the same or similar defect modes in a 6-month window can trigger Stellantis supplier quality development engagement or Stellantis-imposed containment. See our Stellantis supplier requirements guide for context on the broader compliance framework.
