Pontiac GTO Investigation - and what it 'could' mean for Vauxhall Monaro owners...

Stateside, there is an investigation soon to be opened on the Pontiac GTO, model years '04 - '06. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will be conducting this. Starting life Down Under as the HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) GTO, it was imported into the UK (as the Vauxhall Monaro) and the U.S. The furore centres around the tyres: because they're larger, it's been claimed that these were scrubbing the struts of the car (at the front), causing excessive wear that led to over 60 complaints. In the U.S. the struts were replaced by Pontiac in 2006, but NHTSA has received more than 100 complaints about faulty struts, not tires, in 2006 models. Be interesting to see if there is a recall. Monaro owners, you may be ok, but consider this a warning....
