718 Recall
- Thread starter Dylan1
- Start date
Appears that they are going to retrofit mesh grills into the side intakes. I presume there must have been some issues with the build up of leaves etc in the intakes.
I also thought that the front intakes don’t offer much protection from stones so perhaps may consider fitting the Zunsport grilles although I think there may be warranty issues with this.
Or are they in cahoots with Zunsport? [

Yes David that is a good point. I would imagine there they are reacting to some law suits probably in the USA .
It’s not an expensive fix to fit mesh a grille instead of the pointless plastic slats in front of the radiators

I think your confusing two separate issues, the side intake grilles will be fitted by PCGB f.o.c as a recall matter. I am going to have this done with my service as the risk of fire is so unlikely that it does not warrant a further separate visit to the dealer.
The more important issue relates to the front of the car where the radiators are low down and poorly protected by the factory fitted slat type grilles which are not part of the recall.
