Vauxhall Zafira Spare Wheel Theft

Vauxhall Zafira Spare wheel theft

I thought I would post this topic just in case anyone reading this forum either owns a Zafira, is thinking of buying a Zafira, or has already had the wheel stolen from theirs…

There is a known flaw with the car that allows the spare wheel to be easily stolen within a matter of seconds.

Vauxhall are well aware of the problem but as of yet, have refused to do anything about it...

(most likely because they are doing very well as a result of all of the new wheels that are having to be purchased – Demand for the wheels is now so high that Vauxhall are unable to keep up, and have run out of spare wheels for the car…)

A site has been set up to inform people about the problem and provide real accounts of what people’s experiences have been...

If you are interested, the address is...

http://www.sparewheeltheft.co.uk


No money is being made from the site in any way...
