Here's one for you Mr Dekker; I know about the steetring UJ crack and recall, and the rear blower temp sender heating issue and recall - have had both these done. However, I've come accross the one below which was a US recall item - not sure about ROW. About 2.5k vehicles affected. Heard of this one? Relevant?
