General Safety Recall Notification

talibilm_fiqh · Oct 14, 2008

Hi guys

Anyone else had a safety recall notification sent in the post. Apparently a retainer clip could be missing which could cause wiring to wear and in turn could risk a short circuit. This applies to grande punto (and van) all models.

Sorry my mistake yes it applies to heater/climate control models. what are the chances of them lending me temporary car till they sort it u think?

That would depend on how long it will take them to do it, worth asking if its going to take them a week to get around to it imho.

No need, it only takes them about an hour. I just waited while they did it.
