another S1 recall ?

Post by PhilR »

My 04 plate is showing a recall on the DVLA website, I had the air bag done a while ago and the fuel pump & wishbones done last October.
I'm sure i checked after the last recall was done and it was clear.
Has anyone heard of another S1 recall ?

I supposedly have 4 things for mine needed, two airbags, and two bits for the fuel pump. Forget the names of them. All came through in December

Passenger airbag is the latest recall to be issued.

Apparently only takes 45-minutes to replace.

Went through the ballache of getting all the recalls done last summer and this new one pops up!!!

Car is hiding in the garage for the winter so won't be done for a while. I prefer my older cars that have no bloody recalls, every 5 minutes :(

I look at it as getting new bits at someone else's expense. 🤔

going once was fine. but having to keep going back multiple times is just a huge inconvenience. i didnt mind the new free lower arms as i hate changing those.

i understand recalls are safety related, but it still doesnt stop it being a pain in the........!
