vehicle recalls

[teulk]

ive already posted a question about changing my seat belt buckle but i found this...............

Recall on Vauxhall Corsa \'B\'


Vauxhall is asking owners of the Corsa \'B\', the predecessor of the current all-new second generation Corsa (including Tigra), to visit their dealers. Depending on the model variant, the seat rails on one or both of the front seats will be reinforced. In addition, a small number of vehicles will be fitted with new seat belt buckles on both front seats. Under long term extreme load conditions, both components may show signs of material fatigue and premature wear.

How long are recalls valid, obviously this is a safety issue. Its a 1994 1.2 that i have. Also i came across this to



VAUXHALL CORSA/TIGRA HEALTH and SAFETY RECALL NOTICE


The MSA has received this message from the Driving Standards Agency DSA

PROBLEM AREAS

There are two areas of concern:

Security of front Driver and Passenger seats

This affects 586,538 vehicles built between 1993 - 1999 (inclusive)
Driver and front passenger seat adjustment rails may fracture and cause the seats to become insecure

Seat belt locking mechanisms

This affects 116,176 vehicles built between 1999 - 2000 (inclusive)

Obviously my car doesn\'t fall into the year span for the seat belt problem however the problem they describe is the problem i have.

Best thing to do is contact your local Vauxhall dealer who will be able to advise you.

It\'s possible that the problm you\'ve got is just down to general wear and tear rather than a component failure.
