Just been told of this problem. Apparently we must not drive our vehicles. Due to possible brake failure (mentioned in the recall) and the fact that we must not drive, are we actually insured? Read the small print in your policy. I bet we are not and if we have an accident then who will pay. But how are we going to get our vehicles to our dealership?
I'll repeat it - Once the CX owners have personally received this email from MMC they have effectively transferred the risk onto the owners/drivers with all that implies.. including invalidating your insurance naturally.
MMC have the responsibility now to trailer your car to your dealer or the factory.
Happy to be corrected as always.
This is a bummer but a safety call is serious unlike a dripping radiator or cardboard seats...
Hi Rich, If MMC say don't drive your car it may not be safe and you are foolish enough to drive it then the risk you are choosing to take on board is lack of insurance.
What other risk are you including in "with all that implies".
Maybe I'm missing something, in which case as a Plus Four owner I should be concerned not to mention grateful if you could point out whatever that might be.
Thanks and regards,
John
Hi John,
The risk of injury serious or otherwise for one, endangering other road users springs to mind but the list is long. Worse case scenario you write the car off yourself and passenger plus whatever else/person you connect with, it is a huge risk, but some people gamble too. It may even be a prosecutable offence but that is a guess.
Brakes and steering are the zero tolerance areas for me though.
