Because of the Wanderlodge fire it has me thinking hard about any and all recalls pertaining to a Newell Coach. I'm concerned about any recall and sure the factory will take care of any they know of but what about the Newells which have changed hands and the new owner doesn't receive notice about the recall with a hazard waiting to happen.
