Product recall

[Leeshez]

I know it has been covered loads of times in the past, but who's clio has beed recalled for a new bonnet catch. I rang for an oil filter for my car and the guy said this car has a product recall out standing on it. It needs a new catch as they are still failing. It is totaly free. He said if i don't get it done and it fails Renault won't cover it. Have they wrote to you or have the garage said something when you have contacted you?
Mine has been in for the greasing recall.

I had mine done over a year ago.

Received the letter from Renault, called the dealer and booked the car in. Dropped it off and half an hour later the bonnet catch had been replaced and the car valeted.

Simples.

Both my Clio's have had it done. When I went in to have a few niggles sorted, I said "Does it need the bonnet recall done?" and they gave it a new catch anyway.

I still need to get mine in, when I ordered some new bits from Renault Burnley I asked them about it and its never been in for it - I was actually booked in but couldn't make it.

I had to cancel it due to engine troubles!

well, I went in, some spotty teenage mechanic sprayed the bonnet catch with white grease and told me that was it! I should have saved my petrol!

Yes it broke. Is it ok now? I know you said it seems better.

had mine done last year too. got a letter from renault uk and they told me my nearest dealership to arrange an appointment. total new catch free of charge.

Booked mine in just after Christmas, also gave me a FREE (yes! free) 25 point check. Not often you get something free from Renault haha.

You used to be able to just drop in and get it done, but apparently now.. you have to phone up and book it in because they no longer keep the part in stock, and only order them in, as they need them.

had mine doe last night by my neigbour, works at renault as service manager, it takes 3 mins, simple job, but one that is needed to be done.

Round 2 of the bonnet catch recall is really Renault touting for work

 

[Craig]

its about the recall but I haven't had letter either, guess where i'm going tomoro

 

[DrR]

I'd rather risk it than go to Renault TBH, i keep it lubed and clean anyhow.

 

[Fletcher]

I had Renault change my bonnet catch, ages ago.

 

[EdV6220]

Mine was done a few months ago.

 

[Lee-182]

My 172 was done like 2 yr ago, hummm forgot about this maybe need to get the 182 looked at.

 

[motorola222]

mine is 51 plate will i need doing im its 5th owner.

 

[Tav]

Is it all Clio's inc. 2005 182's?

 

[Ollie82.]

They slyly did mine during its MOT in December. Didn't mention it, i just noticed a shiny new catch when i popped the bonnet.

 

[Dm_26]

The recall affects all Mark 2 clios of all kinds. Simple, phone your local garage up and book it in. They all know about it, 5 minute job

 

[BLUE-STORM]

had mine done a year ago well then lubed it not changed it , are they now changeing them then have i got to go back to them again for it ??

 

[AP Geist]

Is there a way of telling if it has been replaced? Does the replacement catch look different?

 

[scala]

I received a recall letter when I first bought my car back in 2007. I still haven't taken it in, but ensure it's serviced regularly.

I'm more scared of Renault poking around under the bonnet than I am of the catch failing at high speed.
