Vauxhall is recalling around 335,000 Corsas and Tigras after a problem was found with the anti-lock braking system.

The problem affects three- and five-door Corsas built between 2004 and 2006, and Tigras built between 2004 and now.

Phone Skoda to ask them about other manufacturers, to prove a point that you made?

Not on VOSA Steve, plus if you're comparing manufacturers you probably need to factor in timescale as well not just count the list.

No worries, its not 100% up-to-date yet as my gf's new corsa has been recalled twice.

Once for Lower Suspension and again for driveshafts checked over.

Only the first is listed on VOSA site.

Vauxhall garage you purchased the car from will contact you if her car is one of them, and take it in to get checked over!
