Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Well I guess now’s a good time to point out that the G8, with exactly the same barrel lock as the Commodore, was subject to recall by GM US.Yes 300k Holdens inpacted but it's still non news as there is no technical info that we as consumers can draw upon.
It may be that Holden could still be playing a little loose with facts to aid there bottom line, who knows. It wouldn't be the first time motor manufacturer execs have lied, and it wont be the last. Just hope that where safety is concerned, lying does result in jail time as a few VW execs recently learnt in the USA. Sadly, a few years earlier, GM execs got away too easy with the ignition lock feasco that resulted in deaths within the USA. Some GM execs should have been incarcerated to send a celar message that you can't place profits above lives. Down undr, it seems more an issue of party donations than legal standards
Close to 4 million vehicle have been impacted in Australia. Isn't that close to 4 years worth of total vehicle sales down under?
Holden also argued it may not have the capacity to replace the airbags because its suppliers
would struggle to meet demand for new vehicles being produced — as well as the replacement airbags — and said the process would come with a “significant cost”.
So whats the go? We have an MY11 Cruze but didn't buy the car new. Do we have to contact Holden to get some direction on this?
