Car Forum / Fiat Cars / December 2003Punto recall
Hi all, just want to share with you that my Punto (1998) has to go to the dealer for a recall, it needs some modifications on the brakepipes (corrosion problems). I am curious if only this serie has to go back, or if it is a general fault on the older model Punto.  SignatureGrt.

Fiat recalls are rare yes, but sometimes other brands recall cars for certain non-essential things. I had a (known) problem with the eh...clutch? (dont know the english word, the plates from engine to wheels), but i had to pay all of it myself, no compensation. Even the newer model (made since the year 2000) could have the problem i have been told. > As a point of interest, there is a Web Site which lists manufacturer recalls > and it is quite interesting to see how many recalls the so called quality > manufacturers have compared to Fiats. :-) > > I'll stick with Fiat! >> Hi all, just want to share with you that my Punto (1998) has to go to the >> dealer for a recall, it needs some modifications on the brakepipes >> (corrosion problems). >> I am curious if only this serie has to go back, or if it is a general > fault >> on the older model Punto.

Of course it could be that later on in the life of the car, owners have to pay for the work that Fiat should have done under recall. >> As a point of interest, there is a Web Site which lists manufacturer recalls >> and it is quite interesting to see how many recalls the so called quality [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Of course it could be that later on in the life of the car, owners > have to pay for the work that Fiat should have done under recall. Well, in Holland the rule is: adding a new component, than they can ask you to pay a part yes (but only if it improves the car quality). I have no idea if this is also for recalls, i guess that is not logical. SignatureGrt.

My T (1999) Punto sporting has just got a letter. I'm in the UK. I think it had this done as a matter of course when it was last in for a "good tune" at Fiat.
