| Description of the problem | Recall made december 2005 to repair/replace actia instrument cluster (bulletin #8051-ia, replaces 80201-i, dated march 2002). Have had motor home at repair shop since october, 2012 & have not been able to get "workhorse (navistar) customer service to correct the fault. Keep getting promise, weekly, with no result. Have written winnebago & workhorse (navistar) on other problems and get no help from either. This motor home cost $86,000 new and they refuse to correct a fault that might cost them less than $1,000 (my guess). Need someone to put their feet to the fire and get this completed (at no cost to me) bfore trying to read lcd readouts causes a catastrophic event.
