new boxer roof recall (cracks) in roof

[alexacs]

hi any one with the new boxer needs to be aware of a recall on the rear roof if using a roof rack! the recall no is ynp and was issued in june 08 for all vehicles there is a major problem as the supporting brakets are not reinforced and under load cracks strart appering on spot welds!!! if left the rear of vans whole structure is not supported like mine and massive cracks appear in roof!
peugeot are under court action from myself to this matter as a struktual engineer has inspected and advised a whole bodyshell needed but realistickly a new van should be supplied!! pug wont answer calls return call nothing, the dealer st peters in worcs has been helpfull but still pug ho rubbish, litigation and trading standards are now the only way
anyone with this van please check rear of roof for any signs of cracks/damage i have the recall program if needed plus lots of usefull stuff on it now! they are hiding hopeing it will go away but it wont
why did i buy this

Hello I owned the citreon Relay (made in the same factory of cause) They sent me a letter about 4 weeks ago saying that I cannot put more than 150kg including roof rack on top, seems a bit useless

hi could you forward this recall info to me as ive just bought one of these and the dealer is telling me to fit a full welded builders rack!!i know these are mega heavy and dont want any down time with it!!so i can get a list of items for them to fix

cheers
