Mine's in tomorrow to have THAT wing mirror fixed and the clevis pins holding my brake pads in place replaced as part of a Safety recall. Anyone else on here affected (My cc was built March 02)

I was rather worried at first Clevis pins to hold a brake pad in position - if one fails whoosh there goes your brake pad

The clevis pins hold the brake pedal on to the pedal box.. Not the pads!

Equally scarey if it falls off though

Hi Emma206 I would find out from your dealers as I spoke to the dealers my car went to and they were going to speak to the people that bought my car about the recall

I heard that it affected a wide range of 206 models including the Hatch, CC and early SW models. No idea of the age span of models affected although a colleauge of mine's 51 reg Hdi hatch was recalled for the same problem.
