Also the rubber strip would wear down so after a while it wasn't touching the road anyway.
I guess it depends on the nature of the recall, and whether your car is indeed one of the "faulty" ones - just because it's been recalled doesn't automatically mean there is anything wrong with it, but it could also mean I will self isolate without warning.Your car is subject to manufacturer's recall, you decide to do nothing.
How does it affect the vehicle status on the road when you carry on using it?
Nothing serious, previous ones have been for wiring faults, airbag deploying when they shouldn't, faulty EMS and engines catching fire.I guess it depends on the nature of the recall, and whether your car is indeed one of the "faulty" ones - just because it's been recalled doesn't automatically mean there is anything wrong with it, but it could also mean I will self isolate without warning.
This is a Volkswagen though.Sounds like every day Jaguar problems.
He does realise that small Mercs use Renfault engines, particularly the diseasels? Good chance that hed be swapping the badge and little else. Indeed, the famous older "Mercedes" diesel engine that used to go in the Clio and megane were nothing of the sort - they were Renault units through and through, and Renault supplied them the Mercedes for the old A class, not the other way around. Theres a "strategic partnership" between Renault group and Daimler and there share a lot of development work, design resources and components.My brother has a 5 year old a200 Mercedes and recently, one of the warning lights came on. He took it to his local Mercedes dealer who told him not to use the car until they investigate the fault. It turned out one sensor had gone faulty on the fuel system I think. Cost of repair: 1800 euros!!
Also, two ago the turbo blew up when we were having a holiday in Ireland together. Luckily, that was done under the guarantee.
Suffice to say, he is not impressed with that brand and is thinking about selling it when he gets it back and buy a Renault. He has had many Renaults before and no problems.
Possibly but at Merc prices for repairs it seems.He does realise that small Mercs use Renfault engines, particularly the diseasels? Good chance that hed be swapping the badge and little else.
