| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In reference to campaign 06v028000 what is the basis for exclusion of some cars of the same year vs others. just because the 7 cars that were part of the original complaint fall in the narrowly defined vin range does not mean other cars of the same model and year do not have the same problem. the defective clusters are the same. i have a 2000 s500 with a failed cluster. i have the same problem with the same part for the same model and year that other cars are being repaired for free, but my car is excluded because its vin range is statistically not in the same narrow vin range corresponding to the original complaint? this seems very exclusionary given my car is the same model and year and the part is the same and there is no basis to exclude it. i am requesting nhtsa to widen the recall range to be fair to all owners of the same model and year where some are being recalled and some not. if the failed clusters were from different manufacturers that would be one thing, but to exclude cars due to vin range corresponding to the original 7 cars as part of the complaint is very lop sided. i request you to please widen the recall. my vin ending range is a127167. *nm |
