Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Safety Recall - Brakes

Re: insurance validity:

Unlikely. If the DVSA have issued a 'do not use' notice and you have an accident in the car, you will have presented your insurance company with an instant 'get-out-of-jail-free' card.

Btw the Recall is a Safety Recall not a Stop Recall. So according to the Gov advise you could still drive the car with a safety recall, it’s only Morgan’s guidance of do not drive..

One Anglemog member has confirmed the issue & MMC recall to me. So all CXs are sadly grounded or maybe not, if I owned one I would check my insurance before driving it. Not a good day for us or MMC but better safe than sorry.

It may not be everyone's experience, but typically at Board level the first three questions to the CEO should be:
What are you going to do about it ?
How long will it take ?
How much will it cost ?
If the Board don't ask those questions, then change the Board.

I have every confidence that those questions will have been asked and addressed by the MMC board which was my point.

Agreed.

Problem identified (third party product failure). Solution engineered.. All those affected are being contacted, cars recalled and fixed FOC. Think the Board and CEO have done everything they need to, especially considering the failure is not of their making, and put the best solution in place.

I'm sure there will some who will attempt to gain some form of compensation, but that's the nature of todays culture. Where there's blame, there's a claim.

The annual Mog in only 2 weeks
Le Mans Classic the week after...

I feel really sorry for any CX owners booked on those, it couldn't have come at a worse time

Although now Mogless my wife and I are doing a eleven car run on Sunday for Deva mog and they plan on staying a week, when we did a run last year there were at least three new plus fours they are travelling a long way from the Cheshire area to sunny Pembrokeshire so some may have left already. What an absolute bugger so sorry for you guys at least they owned up to the problem which is a change for Morgan.....

Yes, times are changing. I find the approach positive.

I am about to arrive back at LHR from LAX and my ML63 is waiting for me, with the brake recall highlighted above. Typical.

I guess this means driving it to the dealer carefully and getting the good lady to pick me up. Well it can only improve the economy and it could do with that!
