The copy quoted above hashes to 4f5beebe8049ae688483403c17670c95…. If the notice is reworded later, that fingerprint will not match, which is how a reader checks that the quotation was of the version we say it was.

The wording we hold for 26V406 · how the whole register is watched
83 days after this was filed with the regulator, the register still carries no date for the letter to owners. The sixty days 49 CFR 577.7 allows have passed. A blank there is a gap in the record, which is not the same as a gap in the post: where this maker stands on the sixty days.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Diamond Coach Vip, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
