Location: Kentucky | I called 4-Star and the haypod is different from the hayrack. The haypod is enclosed. They have sent letters to all of the people involved. As I looked further through the website where I found this, there are numerous other trailer and car brands with recall notices. http://auto-recalls.justia.com/all-vehicle-makes.html You might want to check it out if you are interested. |
