I've sat through a few conference calls on this (I'm a service manager at a Vauxhall dealer) they're not recalling the cars.... only changing bits if customers make a call with concerns. They will put a stop to it I'm sure....but at the moment they haven't tested enough failed vehicles to be 100% that it's definitely the non oe resistors. Only tested 20 cars I think they said.
Its when people see a burnt out resistor and just lob a new one on without checking why it burnt out - normally knackered bearings in the fan motor. They then fit a cheap one on which is terrible.
