So presumably all cars in a certain batch / age range will need their rears changed (i.e. the ones that are listed on the recalls database) and the 7.5J is just to ensure the dealers only change the rears and don't get confused with the re-call and change the fronts too

Yep, 'spose so Makes sense to me.

Can't we just get Vauxhall to tell us the VIN range? Then we'll all know about the wheels at least.

just in case.. and to cover myself.. would they have a good enough reason to say no-go coz I've had them painted?

That's to make sure no dealers have put the fronts on the back at service time and the more crap VX owner didn't notice

Wouldn't put it past them - yes scary I know

Mines 'booked in' for the servo hose, but waiting on parts....

[TonyKL]

Is the hose also a Turbo issues or just NA?

[PaulCP]

Anyone called about an LY yet? Diff alloys I guess?

Lee, this will be interesting if they are affected since there is AFAIK no stock of LY alloys. When i had to have one of my rears replaced 2 years ago my dealer had to spray a normal wheel. (made a good job though)

[Muncher]

Vauxhall recalls haven't been briefed on the wheels issue yet so can't give out any information until the end of the week at the earliest, but they do acknowledge it.

[christurbo]

Isnt there a recalls checker on the VXL website???

[LY25MAX]

Booked mine in last week for tomorrow for the servo hose, glad this wasn't mentioned until today.

Well apparently, my VX IS in the range....
So we'll have to see what happens with replacement wheels............


Just seen the other thread so apparently I need to look for HT on the inside of the wheels....

[christurbo]

Just booked mine in for the Servo hose....

[CocoPops]

Right.... my LY is in range, and the wheels are NOT marked with HT as per John's sticky thread.....

[Muncher]

New wheels for you then

Spoke to John, basically they don't make that wheel anymore....

So...
I am awaiting a call back from customer services.

I think the easiest option is to have new rears and get all four painted as close to the LY colour as possible.
Or...
See if I can convince them to get a dealer credit and replace all four wheels with something else

[jneill]

What about the engine mounts? Surely this is worth a recall too!?

[Trevski220]

My Na registered Jan 2001 Build No 0086, Needs Both the Servo hose and the Rear Wheels.

[RobNA]

My NA 52 reg is due the servo hose, but not the rear wheels

[snoopstah]

Mine's booked in for both - from what I could see looking over the guy's shoulder, the brake hose recall affects all build numbers up to something in the 7000 range, and the wheel recall affects all build numbers up to something in the high 3000 range (39xx I think).
