Can anybody shed some light on this.

Took my car back to the dealer today as the breaks are squeling like a biatch when braking at roundabouts etc. (its really loud as well)

When I went to pick the car up I was told that they had ordered new front pads (Car is one month old, done 1300 miles). They said that Fiat had recommended a brake modification and new pads would be fitted.

Does anybody have any knowledge of this modification?

What have they changed, what does it effect, will it effect my G/f cars (exact same motor but orange not black)

Any Gen

if the recall was needed for your car, get the g/f's done too, if its exactly the same.

Recall was maybe the wrong word to use as I wouldnt have known about it If I hadn't took the car back

This is why I need more information incase it is a saftey issue
