Hi All

Have any of you had a letter regarding a recall to 'update engine control module software to current production specifications'?

I take it that this is generally just an update on the firmware within the ECU, but was wondering if there were any unexpected surprises following one of these 'updates'.

I am taking my 500L in to the local Fiat dealer today to get her 'done', so I will post my experiences should anybody be interested.

Have fun out there!

according to CHASSIS RANGE, CAMPAIGN 6002 is for three vehicles only?

is that campaigns list somewhere with public access?
 
Well, a week after the update and so far so good, although there doesn't appear to be any noticeable difference. I suspect that there are minor alterations which I can't pick up, but the service offered by Piccadilly Motors in Wakefield was very professional, included an external wash following the update too :)

The only thing is now, is that they performed a visual check on the vehicle and it is now time to replace the front tyres....:rolleyes: typical :)
