To their credit, LRA took this seriously, transporting the vehicle for safety reasons, to get the replacement done.

The pictures is now in post #50 and #51 after the threads were merged

I never heard anything either ... but the recall work has been done

. Just ring your dealer and discuss it with the service people. The work on mine got done while it was in for a routine service. I might never get "the letter" but the work got done. A simple phone call - make it happen.

So, in your case, what was the fix?

It is the steel bracket that supports the intercooler pipe away from the steering rod. No coily wire, no cable ties - looks good!

Thanks, obviously more permanent than previous items.

Hi All,
Recall letter received a few days ago (attached).
Bit late though as the turbo air hose (runs between the turbo and intercooler) had burst about 2 months ago. Got it replaced by the lovely folks at Romsey for no cost as a warranty claim.
Now I get it replaced again.

All,

From topix the attached screen grab shows the VIN range that some were asking about. This is the fix that adds a support bracket for the host, the support bracket fits under the alternator mount bolts
