iantt Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The customer letter about says what's involved and why. Sort of anyway. Basically there's a stud that can rub on a wiring harness. The first recall was supposed to replace that stud with a bolt but looks like the wrong stud may have been replaced in error on some vehicles . Nothing major but you need it booked in asap for it to be checked . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will contact the dealer to arrange them to carry out the checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Mines a Mk4 69 plate auto. Never had the recall in the first place. When about was the first recalls?

Sneezy24 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Anyone had this done yet? (20S74). If so, how long do they need the car for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had my car checked last week. They need to carry out a visual check first to see if any further work is necessary. It took about 30 minutes for my check and everything was fine so therefore no further action was required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneezy24 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My dealer wants it for the day in case it needs rework, so I need a courtesy car. All booked late in April... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Yeah me too, booked in on the 19th with a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLB Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Out of interest those that their dealer have asked for their car for the day did they have to carry out any work after the original wiring chaff inspection? In my case my original wiring chaff recall check and this recent check after inspection involved no further work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My booking is for both, the visual check and then if any work needs doing it will be done straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, i obviously have not explained myself very well. 😂 You should have had a recall notice '19S50 Wiring Chafe Safety Recall' sent out around July last year. This latest recall notice '20S74 Stud Inspection Safety Recall' is a different recall and is to check that the previous recall work (if required) was carried out correctly. So did you have to have any rectification work carried out regarding the first recall last year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 No I've never had the first 19s50 recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Guy 👍 Strange, this latest recall appears to be just checking if the original work was carried out correctly as explained by Ian's second post in this thread.

kingfisher1967 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My car is having a service and chafing wire sorted on the 12th, is it worth me asking/looking into this new recall ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I’ve not had one recall. Had 1st service 18k miles yesterday . I’m trusting the dealership have done whatever work is required. It’s the Scottish version of Bristol Street. Have they got a good reputation down south? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
