I would think that yes, it's part of the recall, the red X meaning 'warning', green tick meaning 'it's all OK'I'm a bit confused, I have put into the VIN checker on the Fiat camper website, the number from the Motorhome I'm due to collect in a few weeks from France and it comes up with the following:
Car check for service campaigns: there are no service campaigns and a green tick
Recall Campaigns: there are recall campaigns but it has a red x
Does this mean it is part of the recall or not? Confused, the VIN is within the band mentioned.
Thanks I wasn't sure if that's what it meant or that the supplying dealer had already fixed it. I'll have to contact them about it. Should it be done before they supply to me or is this something you have to take to a Fiat dealer?

It is brand new and has not been registered before so I feel that thus should be corrected before delivery, like you I am concerned about driving back about 700 miles with a safety issue. I will contact them tomorrow to check the position, many thanks for your replies.I expect the experienced guys on here will help, but personally I wouldn't want to be driving it that distance without it being fixed. Not sure how your insurance would feel either if all went wrong despite the warning. If the previous owner didn't have it fixed, I also feel I'd expect the dealer to get it done. Maybe he already has? I'm sure Fiat will be able to confirm that for you.
IT just says Fiat 290 modelDoes your notice list the VIN's involved?

Thanks for the info, I definitely have the dashboard lighting issue ( the one where the ABS and other lights are all the time but dimmed, and come on full when I put on cruise control?) but checked the FIAT camper application and no recall for my chassis number. At least when I go to the dealer the recall is now known, hopefully !Just had mine done at Fiat professional in Aberdeen. Also got call from Fiat to say that the dashboard lighting recall has started and I am on the list
