"Fears that safety belts could fail in the brand new Holden ZB Commodore has led to the issuing of an urgent recall.
The Motor Industry Association says it has identified a condition where the rear left and right seatbelts may not have been installed correctly. This may have happened when the vehicle was manufactured. If the vehicle is in a collision the seatbelts may not operate as designed, and could lead to serious injury. The MIA says the rear centre seat belt is not affected. It's urging people to contact their local Holden dealers to deal with the issue." https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/new...over-seatbelts

There once was a crowd called Holden
With great cars of Aussie constuctin' and mouldin' Then they were no longer built And the old name was used with guilt Looks sadly like the whole mob are now foldin'...... (currently in comparison by the looks of it ) The dear old Falcon and Territory has now gone west Regularly rated up there with the best All doom and gloom at the time Many considered it a travesty and crime Still there's a few good un's with Blue Oval crest . Apologies for my terrible limericks but the Ford company is still hanging in there but the ZB "Commodore" is unlikely to develop anything like a proper foothold in this country . Truly sad for the fans of the brand . Recalls never ever help . I still haven't seen a single ZB in the metal . Not one single car. Would actually love see one or two but convinced the big mistake is calling it COMMODORE...Not a Commodore by any stretch . Last edited by roddy1960; 21-04-2018 at 02:31 PM. |

Oh too bad. Was hoping it was recalled for being incorrect wheel drive and/or incorrect country of manufacture.

"The recall consists of 2167 liftbacks, Sportwagons and Tourers– a list of all VIN numbers affected can be found here. Holden will personally contact those affected and direct them to their nearest dealership – owners can call 1800 632 826 for more information." https://m.drive.com.au/motor-news/ne...ed-117966.html

Why is the Aussie version not recalled? Different belts perhaps, or Australia just a bit slow to decide on a recall?
