With regards to the recall.
After a lot of begging and minor harassment I've been reliably informed that, the vehicles that were part of the batch and hold at the factory have had or are having their 'issues' rectified at source. The vehicles that had already shipped are having their 'issues' rectified at the agent/dealer level. These are being conducted according to their respective VIN numbers and is not some random scattergun response from IA.
The only things is can take away from this is that.
- IA want all vehicles or at least a vast majority of them to have their 'issues' rectified and ready for delivery across the board, so no one agent/dealer or jurisdiction gets the Grenadier first, enabling IA can announce a first day of deliveries worldwide.
- Keep an eye on the ones on the way to Australia perhaps as these if they left the factory needing the rectification work carried out they will be the last of the batch until the respective agents can work their magic.
- Vehicles have to be individually attended to by IA at the factory or the dealer/agent, as there is no reference to mechanical parts, or parts of any sort then this would lead one to assume en masse it really is a software thing.
Of course this was all off the record and totally deniable from the people I spoke to.
All I can say is hold the line and don't bail until you see the blink of an indicator, but if you do then someone may get bumped up the queue.
