Just received a letter this morning regarding a safety recall for all TFs from 2008 onwards.

It concerns the "possibility of failure of the rear suspension arm under extreme load conditions"

It does state that it is still ok to drive the car but component should be replaced as soon as possible

Just posting this in case anyone who has a late TF doesn't recieve the letter from MG

Well that doesn't sound good.

Hmmm.

Nothing on here.

Have spoken to our local MG dealer this morning and they were aware of it (although don't have the parts yet).

Booked in for Monday

Ours is booked in.

recall details ?

Just got mine through the post.

I have sent an e-mail to Keith Harris (Go on then) to see what they can do for me as I am a 5 - 6 hour round trip from my nearest MG Dealer.

The letter talks about the rear suspension arm whereas that recal refers to the lower swivel ball joint, which must be on the front as you dont have the swivels on the rear.

it would be easier if they sent the parts out to you to fit yourself, rather than the expense of driving there and back

I have asked that they either pick the car up and leave a courtesy car, or authorise a local x-part dealer to do the work.

At the end of the day I would be happy with a free fuel fill up.

Last time I went to Summit Garages and had to stopover, so fuel and accommodation was around £250 before any work was carried out. That was to sort a few recalls that hadn't been done.

I don't think I should be out of pocket every time the manufacturing standards of MG are questioned.

Here is a copy of the recall for anyone who has a post 2008 TF and hasn't had the letter yet.
