i dont care if thats from 80,000 cars or 800,000 cars .


what i find a touch amusing is...they recalled V8's for a fuel line issue when they were just released, now they've recalled all V6 cars, the way i read that is, they made a major fault that affected all cars, and decided to recall them in 2 batches(V8 and V6).

If you had read the article you would have seen the bit whereby there have been zero fires, 20 cars detected with leaking hoses which potentially could have caused a fire.

The V8 and V6 faults were/are different, One was a part which could fail, this one is a rubbing hose which has shown up after cars complete a few KM's.

I read somewhere else that the fix is to reroute the hose and put a cable tie on it. No cost and 30mins max.
