Took my 2017 Ducato back today for them to try again for the 3rd time to stop the water leaking behind the scuttle (just tried it still leaking) while there I checked up on the latest Fiat recall 6172 Intercooler Sleeve Collar. The garage still don't have the parts & its looking like the promised delivery of next week isn't likely, the best is the week after, trouble is I am going down to Spain on the 24th Feb so unless it can be done that last week we're screwed until we get back.
While I was there I asked about the 3 x 2017 motorhomes parked in the compound, they all have broken EGR pipes or brackets so can't be driven on safety grounds & again are waiting on parts. The service manager said he has about another 50 motorhomes booked to come in for the EGR recall. When we were away the other weekend I spoke to a guy with a 2017 van who didn't know of the recall, checked his Vin & sure enough his van will need to be done. Maybe its time motorhome manufacturers started using a different base vehicle, you would think after 'clutch gate' Fiat would make sure that they are supplying a product suitable for motorhome use. Pretty certain this will be the last Fiat based van I buy, what with problems with Swift I seem to be spending a lot of time at the Swift & Fiat dealers, might ask them for my personal parking spot :lol-053:. Of the 3000 miles I have on the clock almost 500 must be trips to Fiat or Swift.
