Each campaign in detail

  1. Rappel des conduites de frein arrière

    Manufacturer recall

    Rappel NHTSA 04V525000 (XLR 2004) : les conduites de frein arrière peuvent être chauffées par le collecteur et la tubulure d'échappement gauches, le liquide peut bouillir et le freinage arrière diminuer. Le concessionnaire repositionne l'agrafe du collecteur, règle le jeu des conduites et remplace celles qui sont usées.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
