NHTSA Complaint #10235434 — 2002 FOREST RIVER WILDWOOD

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FOREST RIVER, WHO IS THE MANUFACTURER OF MY TRAVEL TRAILER THAT DOMETIC HAS FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE REFRIGERATOR IN MY TRAILER AND THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL LEAK THAT CAN DEVELOP AND CAUSE A FIRE. AFTER CONTACTING DOMETIC AND FINDING OUT THAT MY UNIT IS ONE OF THE RECALL UNITS THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. IT IS A LONG WAY TO THE DEALER OR THE NEAREST DEALER AND I TOLD THEM I WOULD PREFER FOR THEM TO COME OUT AND FIX IT AT MY RESIDENCE. I KNOW THEY HAVE DONE MOBILE REPAIRS AT OTHER LOCATIONS AND IT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO MAKE TWO TRIPS TO A DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AS I WOULD HAVE TO DROP IT AT NIGHT THEN COME BACK AFTER THE REPAIR IS DONE. AT FIRST THEY SAID THEY WOULD COME AND FIX IT AND THEN THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND AND SAID NO, THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND ALSO TAKE TIME OFF FROM WORK. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO SINCE I AM NOT THE ONE WHO BUILT DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. *TR
