Even though I bought mine end 2014, it is an MY13 gathering dust!

The state of Australian highways (this road is a key thoroughfare for the outback) will put the durability of any car to test!

If that's correct it affects only a very small number of vehicles, but perhaps more likely the number's wrong. Reading between the lines it sounds as though a few fixings may have been over-torqued.

Thanks Steve I knew about that MOT link also and it showed no recalls against my vehicle. Called a dealer just now and they told me the same. Even though my chassis number falls in that category. Rolling Eyes MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I think that range is wrong - that is D down to A. You'd normally specify upward ranges.
