Recall 24S36 - Leaking Hydraulic Clutch Pressure Line

[Zengineer]

What would they do if one secured it in place in order to drive it to the shop for remedy?

If you mean reattached to the firewall stud, they would pull on it and if if didn't come loose you are done.

What if ‘wire tied’ to the stud not using the plastic retainer?

As in consumer notice and secure from further movement but necessarily reattach the not attached connection.

I suspect they would cut and discard the tie and proceed as spelled out in the recall...if they are smart. They have liability to consider. They aren't going to make a judgement call about some alternative solution. They have no incentive to and shouldn't.

So you would not recommend attaching if found detached and call it a day as long as nothing actively leaking?

That sounds reasonable, but I think they're replacing entire fluid lines because the plastic piece in question is manufactured with the hose. Also, they replace the hose in case there was any heat injury to the hose then you'll get a brand new one and not rely on the tech's assessment that may miss degradation to the hose/result in a problem in the future. It makes the repair standardized across the company and takes out any guess work. That, I believe, is why they replace the entire hose.

If mine was loose (it isn't), sure but I'd still take it in. Actually, I have them come to me. My dealer does that.

Got my car back today after a couple days at the dealer. They said it passed the recall inspection.

Surely it wasn't there that long just for the recall inspection?

Took mine in this morning for the recall, took about an hour. Service writer that handles the recalls said everything was fine and closed out the ticket as complete.

No, they also took a look at my mufflers because one was a bit louder than the other in normal exhaust mode. And they took me for a $225 full synthetic oil change.

Must have high overhead in Cali.
