Over 3,000 Vauxhall Corsa and Vauxhall Adam’s registered after May 2014 should not be driven before inspection

Vauxhall has struck fear into its customers by announcing that 3,000 Corsa supermini and Adam city car models registered since May are subject to an urgent recall. The cars should not be driven and owners are advised to contact Vauxhall directly to arrange an inspection. Though you would think Vauxhall would take it upon themselves to track their customers down and make the first contact.

 

This unusual move to recall 3,000 of the Vauxhall Corsa and that have been registered since May 2014 and advise that the cars “should not be driven prior to an inspection” comes after an instigate steering system part was discovered to fall below Vauxhall’s quality control standards. The 3,000 cars affected represent a significant proportion (10%) of the 30,000 cars sold by Vauxhall in that period. 

the Vauxhall Corsa and Vauxhall has also partnered with the AA to help with logistics and inspection of the recall process.
