Isnt that production date? Therefore the car might not be registered until early 58 plate?
:yeahthat:
I disagree because a large percentage of GP's of all years (probably 70-80%) have already had steering column or lower shafts already changed.....do you think they were torqued to the specified torque?

I dont think Fiat depend too much on cars, commercial and agricultural divisions are good earners for the company.....however yes recalls are expensive but if they are needed then they need done.

Mine falls into the vehicle ID range listed so guess i've got to wait as I drove past my local dealer earlier and its gone.
this particular recall has affected 500,000 grande puntos, I read it on their press site!
I have done probably 100 grande punto recalls so far and %10 have had new shafts...normally the 08 or 58 plates require new shaft...
The torque of top bolt should be 30nm and lower bolt 55nm after shaft replacement
I have seen some top bolts at 8nm which then requires new shaft...
Its all good fun
Where do you work
