| Description of the problem | 2004 newmar kountry star is not listed under the nhsta recall #03v-488. I have tried to obtain the recall records from newmar, and the dealer since the mh was already at a dealership when notification were supposed to be sent out. But i am getting conflicting info concerning the recall records, since there is no record that the notices were sent out. Finally an independent mechanic corrected the recall at no cost to me on 02/06. But i am having additonal problems which i believe is a direct result of the recall and therefore my mh remains in the same unsafe condition as when the recall was made.*ak |
