Are dealers generally honest if you rock up asking about recall work ? Yes of course

Can they tell you by the VIN which need to be done etc ? yes exactly
I've read on here that recalls don't expire ? true
Thanks

Hope that helps:thumbs_up:

V50 2011 Diesel Recall, Aug 2022 - UK
 
I was checking my MOT online (on the government website) and a recall message was showing for my car.

It was issued on 02/08/2022 and it turns out to be a replacement clutch master-cylinder. The original ones have a plastic arm which has a tendency to snap so Volvo are doing a recall. I haven't got a clue if this job involves removing the clutch but it would be great if it meant a new one!

Blimey that recall was around 2013 , they must be rounding up the cars that haven't seen a dealer for years... the master cylinder is in the car not the gearbox.

Aha... I didn't have the car then and I think it was on its second owner by then.

So the clutch master-cylinder is part of the clutch pedal then?

well its a bayonet fitting on the clutch pedal bracket once you get it all out after the steering column comes out .

After the steering-column come out :shocked:

I'm glad I'm not paying for this!
