Had a recall last week to check the spare wheel housing/retention.
Booked and was told that it may take up to an hour and a half to fix, if found to be faulty.
Went in this morning and was out again in 15 minutes - all was fine. The mechanic said that they had had a few with loose bolts and winding cables, but that most of the newer models were fine.

The same was the case when I did the recall last year for gearbox security. In and out in quick time.

Good to know that known problems are being professionally dealt with.

Had ours done yesterday only there a couple of hours, told we had had a complete new carrier fitted looked like it too.
There was a new chassis/cab there too (? from swift) easy to see how the spare wheel carrier looked on that looking underneath ours looked the same,.

Didn't think to take a photo Embarassed

Also had nearside mirror replaced forless than it was goingto cost for the mirror itself on the net. Lot's of places supposedly with cheaper mirrors, but all 'out of stock'. At least i know it has been done properly. Laughing

Glad you got it sorted, Sue.

Anyone else had this recall - and what was the outcome ?

Or has anyone else had their spare fall off ?

Ours is held on by two ratchet straps as the mechanism failed leaving it hanging down 2 inches neither allowing the wheel to drop or wind up. Wasn't prepared to pay Fiat £250+ for a new one plus extra labour for removal of our towbar - this was prior to the recall.

Glad I didn't bother as now will be paid for by Fiat when we return in March.
