After 3 major recalls another one

[cram_it_frog]

Yes GMH have decided to make yet another recall on its brand new cars.

This time it is a serious and needs urgent attention

The problem is the : THE LOOSE NUT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL "

GHM management said any one crazy enough to buy one of there products need to seen by a specialist to work out why they did buy a GMH product

Those that live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones or so they say

[cram_it_frog]

with so much bad news out there it is time to have a laugh

o and I do not live in a glass home it is a Broken Hill tinnie

I own a VF, I'd rather them recall it then take the chance and risk my health. Makes you wonder how many issues are allowed to slide by all manufacturers and how many of these issues GMH would have recalled without the issues in USA with GM currently.

Seat bases are a good example. Holden found an issue with early build VF seat bases (something regarding a weld or so I read) so they recalled all of the cars. FG Falcons on the other hand have been plagued with seat base issues since 2008 (they crack and require welding to fix) yet no recall has been issued. I think after all the strife they've gone through in the US recently GM has gotten very trigger happy with recalls.

Totally agree,ford should have had some more recalls for the fg but they just dont care going by their actions,i joke about holden too but at least it looks like they still care about their customers,ford stopped that kind of thing years ago.

I think you might find Ford has had a seat base issue since 2002 with the BA.

The scarier part is thinking that the car companies do the sums on the cost of doing the recall vs the cost and odds of the issue going worst-case and ending up in a lawsuit.

And funnily enough the best example of which I have ever come across is the Ford Pinto.

Interesting... I've had a BA and 2 FGs and no seat issues with my 110 kg butt in them..... Did I miss something?

[STINKY NINJA]

My 1500 km old fg ute had seat creaks but weirdly enough my 130000km old ba xr8 has no such thing.

There's a difference between something breaking early due to wear or heavy occupants and something breaking because you didn't finish the job properly.

Its hard to say with some of these faults , there are some pretty big dudes and dudets out there stress testing the chairs, and you watch how some dudes plop on the seats its a wonder they last for 15 minutes.

[The Yeti]

Every car will have design faults, it's how the factory handles them that counts.

Do they stand up, recall them and address it, or pretend they arnt happening that to me is the real question

How long did it take ford to own up to the territory ball joint debarkle as said above they have had seat base issues since 2008, hell the last new ford I brought was in 07 (I've had 3 new cars since then but I couldn't be bothered with new fords) and it had a loose steering wheel nut on delivery, and the sales guy shrugged it off saying it wasn't uncommon

[cram_it_frog]

Thanks I do agree it is better to have a recall than some thing tragic happen

but after a week of aircraft crashes war in the middle east so much bad news i thought a joke on Holden some thing to laugh about in these sad times


I am sorry if I offended any one

[BHDOGS]

Don't be sorry cram it frog it's just the usual Holden owners being over sensative as always

[poppa smurf]

well... you made Ole Poppa smile.......so that's a good thing.

Luckily you're a happy go lucky Ford owner, who doesn't get upset about anything.

[blackf6]

Actually my old EL Xr6 had seat base issues where the seat base plate cracked

Think was the same for all E-Series

As for recalls, seem minor but is good that they have identified and rectifying
