DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR MODEL RM2852 WAS RECALLED ON APRIL 11, 2008 BECAUSE OF POSSIBLY STARTING A FIRE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL ON JULY 31, 2008. WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO NOTIFY ME? I HAVE A DISABLED SON WHO DOESN'T KNOW DANGER, SUCH AS FIRE. I HAVE USED MY MOTORHOME MANY TIMES THIS YEAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. THESE RECALLS WHICH COULD START A FIRE SHOULD BE TOLD TO US CONSUMERS FASTER THAN THIS WAS. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME WANT ANOTHER MOTORHOME WITH DOMETIC PRODUCTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. THANK YOU, AL SCHUERMAN *TR
