could it be that LR have done the sums and decided that due to all the other issues the likelihood of loss of population due to clutch or adapter shaft is so low it's not worth worrying about

Transit and Transit Connect use different engine and different clutch is what dorsetsmith is saying.

Risk type: Fire, Injuries The clutch pressure plate may break while the vehicle is in motion. This may lead to a malfunction of the transmission and to increased risk of the engine catching fire. Measures taken by economic operators: Recall of the product from end users (By: Manufacturer) Description: Passenger car. Country of origin: Germany Alert submitted by: Germany Type of alert: Serious I wonder how many different owners there will have been on some 10 year old vehicles, how many clutches some may have been through and how many current owners will even get to know about this recall? Good to see happening though, as opposed to the view "it's well out of warranty, dealer and manufacturer are not interested..." https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/consumers_s...amp;lng=en |
