recall

[David Brady]

Thanks Jerry,



Looks like a professional job, nicely mounted in a sound box. It

appears that the generator is in the 3rd bay from the front on the

driver's side. Is this true? That would put the weight right at the

center of the wheelbase distributing the generator's weight evenly

between the steer and drive axles.

I don't mean to single you out regarding the lack of info, and I very much appreciate whatever light you can shed on the modifications. Is it possible to post the pictures somewhere for us to see? Thanks, David Brady, (who's growing family may require more slides) '02 LXi, NC JERRY SMITH wrote: David, I was told it was not a problem in the rear and that also their was an improvement to the leveling air system to allow for the extra weight in that area. I talked with other owner at the factory and was also sent pictures of the new modification. That owner was there because he did not want it done, same as me. Afterthat conversation, and an additional conversation with Macy, I decided to go ahead. The work is being done on the factory line and not in the service shop. From the pictures the work looked first class. Don't know if this answers your question, but I now feel comfortable with the change.

I sure wish that 450 owners would be more vocal in what changes are being made to their coaches to satisfy the front axle recall, or any other recall. This info is of great interest to those of us considering purchasing a 450. Thanks, David Brady '02 LXi, NC JERRY SMITH wrote: Mike, thanks for the response. Since my post I have received pictures of what they are doing. Looks first class. I was concerned about moving the generator. I have agreed to go ahead.

Valley just prior to Maxton. They were in the middle of one genset move to the left rear bay, in front of the drive axle. Alan Barbee said that the genset would only be moved if the unit was overweight after all other remedies were tried first. The old genset compartment would be available to open storage of items up to a max of 150#. This would not be an enclosed space. Mike '97 BMC 40' Michael Brody P.O.
