What owners report

2017-08-21, Steering
TODAY, (8/21/2017) IS THE FIRST I LEARNED OF SAFETY RECALL 17V-160. SPARTAN REFUSES TO ALLOW ME TO TAKE MY MOTOR HOME TO MY SERVICE FACILITY 30 MILES FROM MY HOME. INSTEAD, THEY INSIST I TAKE THE MOTOR HOME ALMOST 75 MILES, WHERE I MUST LEAVE IT AN EXTENDED TIME FOR THE REPAIR, TO A SPARTAN AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITY, THAT PURCHASED A SPECIAL TORQUE WRENCH TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE SPARTAN IS UNREASONABLE WITH THEIR DEMAND.
