Radio off/door open prob

Wouldn't the part itself still be under warranty ?

I don't know. I thought Holden new vehicle warranty was specifically for the three years / 100k km then you are on your own?

I think the part has 12 months warranty from purchase.

If I have a part that was fitted under new car warranty within 2y/50k but the car is now out of warranty, I claim it anyway. Parts are warranted for 2y/50k regardless of new vehicle warranty status. If a dealership fitted the part, it's parts and labour, if you buy the part over the counter (or fitted at a non-dealership mechanic) then you're on your own for fitment costs.

OK thanks, but my car is at 180ish and the replacement was under new vehicle warranty (<100k km). Yeah sucks and is obviously a recall issue IMO. Happy to take a principled stand and whine but seems each individual part replaced under warranty is only good for 50k km. despite there being no defined correlation between km travelled and door opening?

Thanks for the info guys:beer chug:

Not a recall issue as there's no safety implications. If there was a recall every time a "known problem" was found then there's be no car manufacturers left - they'd all be broke or cars would be twice the price they are now.

despite there being no defined correlation between km travelled and door opening?

Yes and no. It could be argued that the more you're driving it, the more you're getting in and out of it. Or that the more driving, the more vibrations go through the component. At any rate, there has to be a cutoff point.

Got mine booked in to be fixed tomorrow.

Got mine fixed today . Dropped it off at 8.30 and picked it up at 11.30 AND they washed it too :beer chug:

Mines in having it replaced as I type. 4 months to go on warranty
