Even now !!!!!!

Wow. You'd have imagined that this would have been sorted by now...

Brings an important question to mind - Who's fault is this? Have Vauxhall done all they could to inform all potential owners of the effected cars or is the owner of the vehicle at fault? Additionally, at what point have/will Vauxhall be able to say ''You've had a fair amount of time'', if ever?

its the sheer scale of the repairs that's hard to deal with

235,000 cars
360 ish dealers

652 cars per dealership. And that's when the recall notifications get to clients and they respond

Tis v tough thing and Vauxhall, like all car companies in 2016, really REALLY wants safe cars for everyone. There is no exception and I know they work hard toward that every single day.

This will help people know what to do while they await their recall.

What do I need to do?

Once you have received your letter, please book your vehicle in for inspection at the Vauxhall Retailer most convenient to you.


Until the second recall repairs have been performed, it is important to follow the precautions detailed below: it's easy to be safe, while it's sorted

You should only use blower motor fan speed setting 0 or 4
If the blower motor fan is not operating in speed 4 it is recommended to set your fan speed to 0 in order to prevent the possibility of the fuse blowing. Under these circumstances please contact your local Vauxhall retailer to arrange repairs.
