Hi everyone,

 

We bought our hybrid from Campervanco in Denny near Edinburgh, paid a substantial amount for it and discovered a recall issue on airbags which they didn't know about!! Although we discovered it through another dealer (thanks Matt)  the van runs well now we have changed the steering rack no other significant issues but response is lame considering we paid 30 grand for it, we were disappointed. Their workshop looked pretty good and the sales appeared efficient but lacks follow up I am afraid.

Don't be duped

A Christmas Eve update on "CampervanCo" (Campers Scotland Ltd) is that they are still showing as active on Companies House, no receiver in the Gazette, but premises are locked up and staff redundant. However some customers are reporting that "their" vehicles may be advertised for sale (don't pay anything to this company) and two of us now have interim court orders (Interlocutors in Scotland) against the company and they are now with Sheriffs Officers.

what was the recall issue with the airbags? I bought one from them too (collected Nov 2022, T Alphard 2007)

Hi,

The issue was raised in 2015 and I believe it related to lots of Alphard , ours is 2004 but the company importer didn't check to see if the issue was resolved that's Campervanco.

The recall wasn't picked up by them and it was difficult to find but when we read it sounded pretty serious; the passenger airbag had a fault that meant fragments of metal were likely to be ejected from the airbag should it be deployed.

I have raised this with Japan and they are supposed to be getting the local dealer to sort, watch this space !

I will try and find the recall and post it for you to see.

Take care
