Default Recall

The 'Doug' model of the Bollen Corporation has been found to be
faulty, there is a major problem with it's 'reality grasp'.
A fault also seems to exist in it's 'common sense module' causing the
'paranoia' circuit to function at the wrong time.
All owners of the 'Doug' model are asked to contact the manufactures
as soon as possible.
Until the fault is rectified owners are asked not to use this model as
it can cause a major problem for other road users
The Bollen Corporation if contacted will be able to advise on
alternative transport (oxcart / wheelbarrow, etc)
The Bollen Corporation thank you for your support in this difficult
time & thank you for your support.

There have also been many reports of faults in his Bicycle models.
Several cyclists have reported whining noises occuring whenever a car
passes. Many complain of a ramming feeling at the end of a ride.
The Bollen company has issued a statement, claiming this is normal on
any make of cycle, due to cars not leaving enough room on passing.

I understand that the problems are not limited to just those two
modules, but that there is a persistent problem with an intermittent
whining whenever the Doug is pulled up and that it can often lurch
violently to the left without any warning whatever.

The wheelbarrow is specially designed to be towed behind another two-wheeled
vehicle and is an ideal size to be parked so as to block an entire pavement.
