Thank you. Some of these recalls may not apply to all the minivans, The dealer would need to do vip or function 14 to see if there is any incomplete or outstanding recalls.

 

Guess Canada isn't building them any better than we did.

 

Has anyone here been to service and had to have the repair done? Have there been any issues with the missing rivets?
I just received the letter today and will be going in tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

 

first I've heard of the recall......lol. I swear we're always the last to know.

 

I just read the release and they expect less than 30 vehicles total to have an issue.

 

I just spoke to service and they say if parts are needed, they will have to be ordered, so the repairs will not be done on the same day if the problem is found.

I wonder if the line doing the rivets had a liquid lunch that day...lol
