Not sure how to move them but you are right, it is strange that the vin range wasn't listed, normally they are in the notices.

If edit time is open on all the threads of yours hit them and delete no one thread all should vanish from the thread.

But recalls on the Oz side are limited on info, as are the few recalls that are on the US side.
It's a neat thread if you continue to update on them over the years.
Believe it or not . there were no recalls on the Tins in Australia ,, 'A conspiracy maybe.

If you can't delete the thread. I'll have seek move it for you, if you like.
Thanks for your input.
