This month's (December 2011) MMM magazine has a piece about a VOSA recall on Citroen and Peugeot spare wheels (p174). The fault is apparent on Fiats too but Fiat will only replace the faulty spare wheel mechanism if the owner complains and they have not issued a recall via VOSA. It seems the fault means that the spare wheel is liable to fall off and, in some cases, already has done so !.
The vehicles affected are:
Citroen Relay recall number R/2011/093
VIN start: VF*******11032532
VIN end: VF****** 11316369
Build start 18/07/2006
End 18/10/2007
