If it wasn't for these recalls I'd never have anything to do with them.

Well, if they're actually going to do something other than "inspect' it , then I'll ring up and see if they've got parts...just got my reminder letter.

They aren't technically an emergency brake......only vehicles with a single circuit brake system have to have a separate emergency brake system that has to be able to stop the car when moving at a nominated speed.
Dual circuit brake system equipped cars have a parking brake.

I got both letters in the mail this morning for both my Jeeps, despite being told on the phone in December that there was no recall (even though I was reading it from the ACCC web site to them).

Then I was told to take it to a dealer for a test and they would order the parts if it needed them. Sure, the dealer is only 1 hour or so away and it's in Nowra so I will more than likely either get the Jeep stolen or get stabbed

So I rang the dealer, who told me that unless I got a letter that they would do nothing for me.....and now my air bag light is on in one Jeep and the horn goes crazy on hot days in the other Jeep.....

Guess I have some more phone calls to make, and more days to take off work....

I'm still waiting for the heated mirrors to be fixed. FCA kept sending me reminders and at one stage sent me a reminder by registered post to make sure I recieved it.

It's not through lack of trying though, it's because my local dealer is a PITA and won't do it until the car comes in for a service. Since mine doesn't get driven through the week it's a long time between services and the next Jeep dealer is too far away to be practical.
