What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 17 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to c2622fdba41f931d28ecd3fcc6005ca7…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
This is one of 353 notices in the record whose component field names service brakes, air. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 43 days.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.
