Wanderlodge, Ga, closed

[Pete Masterson]

The "parts availability" rules don't cover vehicles (or appliances) where the manufacturer goes out of business. So, if Blue Bird Coachworks ceases operations (and that is not yet settled), then the parts may become hard to get. Fortunately, Wanderlodges are mostly assembled out of components from third parties, so only a very few proprietary items might become a real problem.

As for warranty coverage -- it would likely cease with a bankruptcy filing, if the business is being closed down or liquidated. Warranty holders become "unsecured debtors" ....

In the case of the 450 overweight recall, that was funded by Cerebus, so it's unclear what the situation will be for that program. CCW might be able to continue the program. Beyond that, anything would be speculation.

I feel I need to respond to this one. Isn't there federal rules about parts supply when a product is discontinued. I think they are obligated to provide parts for a 5 year period and the they are to be warehoused until exhausted for another period of time. Anyone out there that know about this? The company I retired from often had to honor parts for a period of time. It is only right that a compnay should not abandon people's parts source especially on an expensive product like an Wanderlodge.
