I'm surprised that the MMC weren't required to issue a safety recall on the affected cars. Un-informed buyers of used cars, that haven't had the chassis issues addressed, are in for an unpleasant shock somewhere down the line.
You touch on a vital area for the Marque's continued and happy existence.
All proper nations have Recall systems for all products with a subdivision dealing with automobiles. Here is the how the
British one works. Safety Recalls are always separately dealt with, even within the automotive section. All nations have onerous personal penalties for a decision-makers who do not make a Safety Recall as soon as possible after becoming aware of an issue aside from the civil one which need no knowledge (latent defect) . Additionally, there is a OWNER liability to third parties when they have been informed of a Safety Recall and do not acted upon it within a reasonable time. All issues, Safety or whatever, begin a mandatory repair/replacement
at the company's cost.AFAIK, the MMC has never made any type of Recall during the Family's tenure. [/b][/u] This is confirmed by the
UK Registry for such things. It contains almost 17,000 Recalls from the automotive sector since the online Registry began in 1992. However, there is nothing filed by Morgan under the Family regimes. (which is ..er... extraordinary) The first Recalls ever have been filed by new owners began on designs they had no hand in creating. These are their Recalls, the first in Morgan history.
-2019, two Recalls on the M3W applying back to 2014 by the current regime on earlier regime product -2022, two Recalls on the CX cars applying back to 2019 by the current regime on earlier regime product I understand that Recalls are developing things. Notices are updated as causes and solutions are found or re-examined. The only urgency is within the Safety Recall and that relates to preliminarily informing the government and the buyers as soon after knowledge of the risk is known.
In sum, I cannot see this striking change in owner protection, be it for owner safety or owner wallets, as anything but a very good thing for the Marque and all of us. We haven't seen this level of care from Pickersleigh Road, since the "hard times" began. BTW, I see no notice relating to the new three wheeler, the first vehicle they ARE responsible for. Any info from its owners? You will note from the dates of the notices that they must be slowly settling into their ownership. Considering the millions they are spending to cover prior production, maybe patience is the best virtue.

P.S. I have noted that the employment of the individual, with full title responsibility for the creation and production of the CX cars from their inception, ended in August 2023.
