But it also says that MG are still investigating. I would expect a retrofit recall for existing 3s in due course. It is far easier and quicker to make a factory change than to set up a recall programme - that takes time.
At least they are starting to get the work down, they had no option though would have been a massive own goal if they hadn't bothered
It's a 2025 car, registered 13th May 2025. It has the split rear seat and adjustable steering column.
I’ve just received a recall letter for mine purchased September.Avoid the MG3, says Euro NCAP after critical safety failure in crash test | Auto Express
The MG3 has caused the automotive safety body to review the way it scores crash testswww.autoexpress.co.uk
Here is the link mentioned to save you searching for it. What is worrying is that MG clearly state if you already own a car, tough! Future ones won't have this dangerous failure in design.
As the previous owner of a new MG3, I haven't got a letter yet, probably won't now.Just had the letter also but don't own the car anymore, the fix as I understand is a pretty expensive job hence the 1 hour labour. It consists a roll of gorilla tape extra strong, and two cable ties and the jobs a good un. MG likes to do the job correct
That sounds like a decent MG Dealer @Countjagular, must be one of the better ones.
I’ve booked mine in and they said they would need at least 4 hours, so they’re giving me a courtesy car. Unfortunately it’s not until January, mainly because they can only do one a day and I’m away for two weeks over the festive period.
That's surprising. Mine's booked into Unity MG Coventry in January, and they told me I can wait, as it will take less than an hour.
Not all Dealers are the same, but often their timings depend on how they operate and manage the day's work, many Dealers will only offer you a morning or afternoon slot, so even though a job may only take an hour, you'll need to leave it with them for half a day.
