TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FREIGHTLINER XC MOTORHOME CHASSIS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V408000 (STEERING:LINKAGES ). HE CALLED HIS LOCAL DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND REMOVE THE DATE CODE FROM THE STEERING BOX. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD OVER 15,000 MILES, THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE MILEAGE SHOULD NOT IMPACT THE DECISION OF WHETHER OR NOT THE RECALL REPAIR SHOULD BE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IF HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,500.
