After working for over 30 years in the motor industry, for a vehicle manufacturer, I cannot remember a STOP RECALL. Safety Recalls and Service Measures, yes, but not a stop recall.
To introduce such a serious measure there must have been some incidents which have resulted in accidents. Is this a general issue with Frenos Iruna brake components or is it specific to Morgan? Either way it will create many headaches for Customers, Dealers and MMC alike.
The fundamental question is going to be how quickly can the recall work be completed even when parts have been sourced? As of today 8th June I was advised by MMC there are no parts in stock, presumably any they may have are deemed to be faulty, and with an average lead time for service work between 8 and 12 weeks we can kiss goodbye to our summer of fun in the MOG! :-(
Let us hope there is some remedial measure we can take, monitor brake fluid levels for example to enable us to continue to enjoy the idiosyncrasies of Morgan ownership without the risk of brake failure added to them!
