owners alert, recall work!
Discussion
Re the 998 and 999 recall.
Posting this to alert UK owners. I have been appalled and shocked re the above recall incompetent frame work done. Some of the Chrysler UK dealers are screwing the work up! My concern is owners trust work has been done satisfactorily, and this is far from the truth.
A Southampton dealer confidently claims to have done 6 Vipers including a GT2, they ignored the rear (which needs much work on pre 1st March '99 cars, but argued with me it's only a visual inspection! YIKES!) They have put the frame gussets on over the top of the old ones!! They are part riveted (doesn't even look like with the proper rivets) and part welded as they won't fit well with the old ones in place still. I couldn't believe what I've seen. I just had a quick look-see at a few of the cars done when some of us met up over the weekend. Another dealer screwed up on the rear U splicer brackets, and riveted the gussets on the wrong way around facing rearwards! They also claim to have serviced the snake since doing this, how did they get that oil filter out?! The owners are unaware; they have rightly expected it's been done properly. This is criminal.
