| Post subject: | Admin guys; this could be a good idea |
I think that would be a very good idea, the title should (imo) also reflect the problem being discribed (make & model) |

How silly can a big company be? |

On the flipside, at least they issue product recalls and acknowledge manufacturing that can potentially be a problem. Car manufacturers issue recalls occasionally too - just seems that the only caravan manufacturer to do so is Jayco. Seems a little strange to me that most other van manufacturers have never issued a recall for anything at all - even though a lot of hardware and components are supplied by 3rd parties. Never a poor weld? Axle underrated for the weight? Jayco had one recall in 2009 when they advised the roll-out awning had a problem and may unfurl while travelling. Do no other manufacturers use the same awning? No other manufacturers issued a recall at the same time. I'm quite OK with a company that acknowledges potential problems and rectifies them. Cheers.

Mike. Ditto. Underrated tyres have long been an issue with some manufacturers, but no recalls. ozjohn |

I may be very wrong, but was the jayco recall voluntary.Did you notice it was under an ACCC letterhead. |

I know nothing about the Great Wall Motors V240 but upon looking them up I see they could be used as a tug, hence this post... http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/985583 |

| Post subject: | Recalls |
Vehicle manufacturers use RTA data-bases to track and contact current owners for Safety Related Recalls using Chassis/VIN numbers as the search criteria. They use their own and Dealer records for Service Campaigns and updates. Assume same protocols apply to Caravan manufacturers. |

Rooty, yes that is quite true. How thoroughly it works I don't know. With my new Toyota they had my rego wrongly recorded. I wonder how well the systems track used vehicles from owner to owner. I guess if the systems were faultless the makers would not need to place recall public notices in the main newspapers. As for the van industry I have far less faith in their diligence. Maybe the big operators are OK but there are so many smaller ones. My second reason for listing recalls here is vehicle non-owners may be interested in the track-record of other brands. |
