NHTSA Complaint #11072141 — 2011 FOREST RIVER GEORGETOWN

IN 2013 WE WERE TRAVELING TO TEXAS ON INTERSTATE 10 IN LOUISIANA WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND HARSE VIBRATION IN THE RV WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOOKED UNDER THE RV TO SEE A PIECE OF STEEL WEDGED UNDER THE RV AND SHEARING ITSELF INTO THE ASPHALT. WE WERE ABLE TO REMOVE IT WITH SOME DIFFICULTY PUT IT IN THE RV AND CONTINUED ON OUR TRIP TERRIFIED OF WHAT WAS WRONG. WE CALLED FOREST RIVER AND EMAILED THE ATTACHED PICTURES AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS WAS. WE TOOK IT TO RON HOOVERS IN ROCKPORT, TX TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THEY SAID IT WAS A HEAT SHIELD THAT HAD COME OFF THE RV WHEN ITS WELD DIDN'T HOLD. THEY REPAIRED IT AND IT HAS STAYED EVER SINCE. I'M TERRIFIED OF THIS RV PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE AND IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED.
