Is it a proper DVLA involved recall? As I won't be taking my GF's Ibiza back to any of the local dealers unless we get a letter

I wonder if this is the same pipe as my Leon one.....

I've held off posting anything more about it 'cos it's been months now

 

[m0rk]

It's not on VOSA, so I've emailled SEAT UK to confirm what the situation is

 

[flashbsd]

dont think ive sene it anywhere, but mines getting done thought it might be worth you lot knowing as ive seen a few on here. car has done 22k btw and its cracked already!

 

[m0rk]

are you confusing warranty with recall?

Recalls are issued thru DVLA

 

[BMcN]

I got a letter at Xmas time that the car has been recalled. Have not phoned yet to see what its about. I'll do it tomorrow and see what its about.

If it splits you'll see what its about (as you proceed to the scene of the nearest accident).

I think the recalls are issued by the manufacturers themselves, off their own back, or pressure from VOSA/Customers. IIRC VOSA and DVLA just use their database to get as many of the owners as poss.

So why haven't I received this recall?!

Can someone tell me exactly what it is so that i can phone my dealership and ask.

If there is a recall, will the dealer do it even if the hose isnt cracked?
might give my local dealer a ring tomorrow and find out the situation.

 

[flashbsd]

yeah. it possibly could go at any time, it looks like the pipe is actually a bit on the small side to be stretched obver the tpiece

 

[speedsix]

What about people that have actually had it replaced, say 7k miles ago?

why would you want to do that? is your new one cracking already?

[T7ODD]

Me too. Mine's 02 (one of the very last) but I can't see it being any different to a 51 plate. I might ring my local dealer.

 

[m0rk]

I'm just waiting on a reply back from SEAT UK, so it'll save you calling if you can't be assed to explain it to a befuddled service manager

I thought maybe they were fitting a more suitable pipe, not much point if they've replaced the original with the same thing.

I'm a little confused with this, is it work done free by seat if requested as opposed to an actual recall?
