I have a question about 1999 and 2000 Newells that owners of these years can help me with.
I have looked at several units that have a good price point but I am avoiding because of the wheel bearing recall for 1999 and 2000 models = is this recall valid?
Is the bearing issue something that has to be addressed every 7500 miles by those that now own these two years?
Thanks for any help.
Refer to:
Date of Manufacturing: From Nov. 1, 1999 to Oct. 15, 2000
Units Affected: 55
Dealers will install a revised tag axle suspension arrangement to correct this problem. Also, at intervals of 7,500 miles, owners are requested to arrange to have the tag axle wheel bearings replaced at a dealership or call Newell to issue authorization to have these bearings changed in a service facility in the field at Newell's expense.
