ABS system catches fire (ironically as its only function is to try to improve safety)
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23409038-details/The+combustible+Corsa%3A+200%2C000+Vauxhalls+are+recalled+over+fault/article.do
They will get less than 200k cars back. There is at least 1 a week lands upside down in a field near me at a bad bend

If you have one in a garage, now is the time to stick it out on the road!!!!!!! 
i own a corsa and regular member of a corsa forum, this was discovered a long time ago and vaux have done a shite job with the recall, there have been
people on the forum who have had their cars set fire in the middle of the night - this was when vauxhall know about the problem!
takes the piss!
Vauxhall almost certainly don't make their own ABS. It is most likely some arguement between them and their suppler that has caused the delay.
No-one likes a recall. They are million-pound expensive and everyone argues who will foot the bill.

its no the abs unit that causes the problems, its the earthing on the chassis leg, the solution is to clear off the spade connector with wet n dry
paper, coat it in solder and then put some heat shrink tube around it and say problem solved
amazing what you learn after 2 weeks of work experience at a vauxhall garage

My old Combo got recalled for this ages ago now, so long ago in fact that I don't have it any more. It's actually had another recall since that one as well (another wiring fault)...
I have two corsa's, one a 02 and the other is 05. What should i do? Take both of them in the vx garage?
yep, the 05 may have the timing chain recall on it aswell.
