the lower arms. In your pic, look at the CV boot, then directly underneath. Yours looks like its probably an alloy one, and therefore not affected.

Still not got a letter MY55 Wagon, is it easier just to ring local dealer and ask them if it needs doing instead of waiting for VOSA letter ?

I would !

I bought my misses a Honda Jaz second hand private sale. When i bought it a door lock was broken so i booked it into a honda dealer to be fixed. When i went to collect it they had also changed the light stalk and and electric window switch. By all accounts there were outstanding re-calls which were activated once the reg was in putted into there system.

I rung my local dealer as I didn't get a recall for my 51 plate bug wagon and I went in this morning to be told both need replacing and I had to leave the car until tomorrow as it wasn't safe to drive. Fantastic service from the dealer though as they even gave me a ride home.

If you saw the test tool then you will know why it wouldnt be safe to drive big sprung spike that they put against the metal and release!

As you can see the rear bolt was loose on both sides.
For those that still don't know what a steel lower arm is
