Interesting ,

Since I bought mine a month ago I have constantly had 3 kids in the rear and have too say I've not ever notice the buckles being faulty in any way at all. I will however keep an eye on things.

I had ours checked for recalls, and they all predated our build date, apart from an ECU update, which was done before delivery. I think Vauxhall kept on top of it, but if you want peace of mind, then your local VXR8 maintenance and repair centre can se what is outstanding from your VIN..

FB76 for you, Perry's at Hersden, Caterbury can help, but as they had the car for a couple of months last year (waiting for a clutch), I'm sure they would have checked already.

That recall was before any of them had left for the UK so I think you are ok on that one. I know the Utes were recalled after 2008 sometime for the tailgate to put stronger latches on them.
Here are the recalls for Holden in Australia.

there was also something about a fuel leak on the ls2 engined cars...but i am sure that would have been sorted on the uk cars.

For those with VF cars, this came out a few days ago. Not sure if it is affecting GEN F HSV/VXR GTS cars or not.

Did anyone else find this a bit odd?

Described as the largest validation program in Holden’s history, VE/WM development included 3.42 million test kilometres, almost 11,000 subsystem validation activities, 41,000 hours of testing for electrical systems and 5000 virtual and almost 79 physical tests for safety

"almost 79 physical tests for safety"

Almost 79? What does that even mean? Doesn't almost 79 just mean 78?

They set it all up on the test rig, but then the sun came out, so the went to the beach instead.
