UPDATE: Stelywhatits is now contracting RAC/AA to do the transporting of effected cars TO dealers for the work to be done.......get it home yourself.

I think you need to be a RAC/AA member at the moment.

Stellantis have GOT to be worrying about their reputation;

Stellantis? Reputation? LMAO, good joke.

My account accidentally got deleted late Dec '23, so if you're reading my posts from then or earlier and they look weird / are missing media, that's why. There's no fix, sorry.

Was wondering what this icon was. Always there on start up but disappears after a minute.

Apparently passenger air bag warning. I wonder if this has anything to do with the recall.

Is that a reminder that the passenger airbag has been switched off Steve? A facility to protect rearward facing child seats which can be fitted in the front seat? :)

My thoughts as well.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

I rather think it may be but they don't put the child seat in the front passenger seat, always in the back.

Yes but the switch to turn the bag on and off is a manual one. I think it'll be behind the glovebox door and needs the ignition key.

Just going to leave it as we are likely to be euthenised by the other one anyway.

If leaving it turned off and you are carrying a passenger and are unfortunately in a crash, then you might be liable if the air bag may have saved them.

True enough. I'll mention that but I can't drive that car any more, my insurance ran out last night.
