Got a letter from Holden tonight. My VIN is in the range whereby if you have your rear demister on and indicate to the right, the indicator in the RHS mirror doesn't work.

Checked it out, and whaddyaknow.. doesn't work! Switch off the demister and the indicator springs to life!

Their fix is to "correct the location of two wires, in an electrical connector".

Check yours out if you don't get a letter from Holden... mine is a Feb 08 build LX diesel.

I find it amazing that Holden issues a recall over such a small and trivial thing, while there have been several instances of Ford Territories with front suspensions collapsing (which has the potential to cause a life threatening situation) yet Ford sweeps the issue under the carpet.

LOL vecommo... give it up man... you don't have to cut down Ford at every opportunity you get... really - it's getting tiresome.
