Recalls hit four makes
28 November 2005 In the largest recall, Audi is contacting owners of 5700 A6 models, built between February 2004 and March 2005, for checks on the front airbags. Audi has found that these airbags may deploy too late in an accident, and wants to update the software on the cars to adjust their timing. Volvo is recalling 958 of its S80 executive cars and XC90 off-roaders for checks on the cable which earths the battery. The manufacturer says it can short-circuit the battery, causing smoke to appear from underneath the bonnet and potentially leave drivers unable to start the car. Vauxhall also wants to check the trailer hitch bolts on 22 Zafira people carriers. It has found that the bolts may not have been tightened to the correct degree, and could fail as a result. The smallest of the recalls affects three unlucky Aston Martin DB9 owners. The manufacturer says a part within the automatic transmission's parking brake system has not been built to the right standard. This could leave the car unbraked, even when the driver has engaged the system and indicators suggest it is operating correctly. ?
