Came across this in the Sydney Morning Herald:
Automotive Industry | Recalls | Car recalls | Toyota
The article reports on vehicle recalls but the author seems to have a tenuous grasp on the facts:
I guess the rest of the article should be taken with a grain of salt.Careful wording is the name of the game for product recall notices, with most companies perfecting the art of the understatement when announcing recalls.
Land Rover, which had a problem with windscreen fitment on its Defender, noted that "full windshield retention may not be achieved in the event of a crash of sufficient severity to deploy the front airbags". Translation: the windscreen could fall out in a prang.

Ex 300Tdi Disco:
So that's why my wife put a packet of straws in the centre console! She told me it was for drinks though.
Why can't some journalists get the information right before they go to print?
Try here for a list of LR recalls: Land rover

Mainly coz they would have only the facts, which would only account for 2 lines in a 5cm wide column and a true journalist never lets the facts get in the way of a load of dribble and bollocks....
I hate journalists......
Cheers
