Steering · reported Jun 9, 2009
The contact owns a 2008 country coach magna 630 rv. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign id number 08v484000 (Steering:hydraulic power assist system) and immediately called the manufacturer. The company went bankrupt and is currently receiving a bail out; therefore, the contact had to wait a week or more for the repairs to be authorized. After the waiting period passed, he called the manufacturer and was informed that they would not repair the vehicle without a valid reason. The vehicle has not been repaired. The mileage was not applicable.
