TAKATA RECALL: MANUFACTURER OF MOTOR HOME (FOREST RIVER) HAS TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT TO BLAME AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIR BAG PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THEIR RECALL SITE SAYS THEY WILL TELL THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE RECALL IN JUNE, THEY HAVE NOT NOTIFIED ME. NEITHER HAS FREIGHTLINER, THE CHASSIS MANUFACTURE OR DAIMLERCHRYSLER, THE FIRM PUTTING THEIR NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR HOME. RECALL WAS STARTED IN AUGUST OF 2015 AND NOW I AM TOLD I HAVE TO CALL TAKATA TO FIND OUT WHAT AND/OR WHEN THE REPLACEMENT WILL BE DONE. WHY ARE THESE COMPANIES ALLOWED TO THUMB THEIR NOSES AT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR PRODUCTS WHILE NOT CARING IF THEY LIVE OR DIE?
TAKATA RECALL: WE PURCHASED OUR USED RV IN JAN 2016 FROM A FOREST RIVER DEALER IN VIRGINIA. IN JUNE ANOTHER DEALER TOLD US ABOUT THE RECALL ON OUR SPECIFIC RV. THE ORIGINAL DEALER KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL BUT DID NOT TELL US ABOUT IT SO THEY COULD SELL THE UNIT. NOW WE OWE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR AN RV WE CANNOT DRIVE AND FOREST RIVER STILL HAS NOT TOLD US ABOUT THE RECALL (FIRST PUT ON LIST AUG 2015). WHY NOT INSIST THE MANUFACTURERS TELL THEIR CUSTOMERS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF A RECALL AND WHY NOT INSIST THAT ALL DEALERS OF THEIR PRODUCTS VERIFY THAT THEIR UNITS ARE BEING SOLD WITHOUT ANY SAFETY RECALL?
