Re: New Recall issued!

Careful with headlight covers, mine were etched as delivered, Almost $900 pr to replace, glad they were under warranty.

So far the fan has been squeak free. So if you hear your cooling fan come on like say in the driveway while the car and a/c is running listen for a squeak, if its squeaking get it replaced because it will seize and leave you with an overheated XFire like it did me.

Wow! Yours is the first instance I've heard of a Xfire with so many problems as to be lemoned. It seems most here are satisfied with their reliability. Would you care to give more specifics on your problems? I'm intrigued.

Re: New Recall issued!

Just a word on your headlight cover "etching" issue. I know someone who had theirs replaced and the same thing is happening. !0 minutes of your time, a Porter Cable and some 3M Plastic polish will clear up the problem and make you headlight lenses glisten.
