I saw this and a picture of bits of electricity falling out popped into my head, then the word Hybrid spoiled the moment 

[UltraWomble]

The Almera N16 has been subject to a recall for the passenger airbag too - Ive just booked mine in with Chorley Nissan today to have it fettled. Something to do with the explosive charge getting damp and failing to fire - I dont know what years it affects but mine is a 54 plate / 2004

[Cavcraft]

Sees no Vauxhalls/smug grin/moves on

[Christine]

Sees no Vauxhalls/smug grin/moves on

None left to recall , all burnt out..

[richardmorris]

I like the Maserati one - why only the right hand door?

[Junkman]

My RoD did all of the above, but apparently there never was a recall?

[vulgalour]

Rover didn't do recalls, faults were all part of the character building nature of ownership.

[Lacquer Peel]

Toyota Proace recall, but no Fiat Scudo, Peugeot Expert or Citroen Dispatch recall. Interesting.

[R9UKE]

The best one was the Fiat 500 being recalled because it literally couldn't go up hills. Was on Watchdog and everything.

[captain_70s]

With the exception of "side stand may fail" my Triumphs exhibit all of the above problems.

[anonymous user]

Phew, that was closeit's only cars, for a moment I thought they might be asking for my licence back

[Pillock]

At least it's only minor stuff like fuel leaks, faulty seatbelts and brake failure. Nothing serious!

[Bobthebeard]

"Was on Watchdog and everything"

Therefore must* be true!

[Barry Cade]

Giovanni was on that side of the line that day, His sister got married the day before and he'd overdone the Chianti. Fakt.

Separate recall department for them, Billy...

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Well mine definitely did this one:

 

 

Unintended vehicle movement

 

...and I have the paperwork to prove it!

This isn't a problem - it's Mercedes' emission test get-around.

[HH-R]

I've driven a few Euro 5 engine mapped Fiats, they're shockingly awful. No power at all.

[andrew e]

The Merc is for camshaft failure!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

'Engine may fail' LOL!!! yeah cheers, I'll keep my eye open for that one.

[Sloth in a bowl]

I'm wondering if it is a euphemism either for

'The electronic steering may decide to steer you into a tree'

or

'The electronic handbrake may turn itself off'

I was thinking "vehicle not actually designed to move"...
