Hi there i to was worried like you so just gave vauxhall recall centre on the following number 0118 945 8502.I just gave them my registration number.

My one was ok but interestingly there was 3 other outstanding recalls standing on it not that vauxhall were going to do the recalls for free but atleast i know about them now so well worth phoning.

hope this helps you m8 and welcome to the site :D

mine was not ment to be on the list but my chain snapped as long as you get regular oil and filter changes and an engine flush should be ok :D

Thats a usefull number baz/chris, I just rang it and they said that my car was not under the recall for the timing chain (yet it snapped anyway) but is under recall for the airconditioning low pressure ???? ref number UK01R21 can anybody shed any light on UK01R21, I am going to the dealer this morning for them to listen to the engine see if it sounds OK with regards to the cam chain as I don't bloody trust it as far as I can throw it :evil:

Might be best to start a new thread :oops:

if it out of warranty u have to pay for the recalls,think the air con recall was the extra bracket that reqired fitting to stop the pipe snapping off..
