I'm surprised they issued a recall, better late than never and i wonder if this forum had any influence on the decision or more likely just the huge number of affected vehicles. I got my recall letter so for those of us that had this replaced before the recall should we still have it checked or...

Update! After knowing about this potential failure for a long time, it happened to me the other week. When i first presented at Holden they told me i would have to pay for the diagnostics, however after the diagnostic inspection confirmed the fault i was told i would need a new rack and they...

So does anyone know how long those error codes remain readable after the fault occurs? If someone who has not yet had the fault occur but wants to get the replacement to be safe, would you tell Holden it happened a day ago? A week ago?

Is this confirmation bias perhaps? Peoples concerns are based on evidence such as the discrepancy between what Holden's director of communications Sean Poppit told the world, that this fault would only effect and require a recall on police cars because the cars have stresses much higher then...

Totally, repairing it case by case after the fault occurs and hoping they don't trigger a law suit if a accident is involved, still needing approval from Holden head office for each repair on a individual basis, likely into the thousands of vehicles now and calling it goodwill! Just issue the...

No, should read "Repaired as required by outstanding recall".

Thanks for posting your invoice, notice the "Holden goodwill covering 100%" Ohhh such sweethearts <3.

The Holden website with "know your cost" servicing allows you to look up your model, year, km's, then it will tell you what is involved in the service and the price.

Holden will tell you absolutely at your service intervals if and when they need to change the brake pads, unless your having some braking issues i wouldn't worry. In general the brake pads on the VF are long lasting.

Yep i agree it's high, but simple just don't crash or be at fault ;) ...also if you have a dashcam, transfer it to the loan car for your own protection.

I drive in the mountains around many S bends and cliff edges and if taken by surprise on a sharp corner at speed, you would not likely be able to save yourself without muscle and stellar reaction times.

Holden have a $2000 dollar excess on all loan vehicles.

The V6 in the VF responds well to a Tune, typically most people get a Tune + OTR cold air intake and exhaust. With just a tune and the use of 98 octane i achieved an increased power output of over 270kw/450nm (Basically a series 1 V8), but not all engines will perform equally as well all things...

In addition to the 23 people who have directly had this happen and reported it in this forum thus far, you must consider the vast majority of people who experience this failure will never see this thread or post here if they do, it will be quietly fixed by Holden either for free or paid for by...

Thanks to the OP for this important thread, as a VF owner myself i find this fault alarming for a few reasons, the first is the frequency with which the fault occurs, another is how many here report the power steering fails on sharp turns for some reason, a round about at low speed is likely...

Well the noise is just behind/inside the steering wheel, i don't know if it could be a referred noise from a steering-column shroud.

Hello, i have noticed a noise when steering that sounds as if a few pieces of sand sized debris are being moved around as the wheel turns, any idea what this could be? Also noticeable is the noise produced from the fuel swishing around in the tank after braking, is this normal for the VF models...
