Got a dodgy gearbox? Get state TV involved

Post by X5Sport » Fri Mar 20, 2015 9:50 am

So it appears the Landrover Evoque cars have a gearbox problem.  Probably nothing being admitted by LR - as happened with BMW on the E53 etc - but in China owners have got state TV involved.

The result?  36,000 recalls plus extended warranty cover!

Details on BBC here.

Would it happen elsewhere?  Doubt it.
