Topic: RPod recall from transport canada Posted: 13 Apr 2011 at 4:24pm |
Wow... three of us in a row who've bought from Campkins!
I checked the mail today - no recall notice for me yet. But, I think I'll wait a bit until the spring rush is through before getting mine fixed. I've got no concern about the quality of Campkins work, but I'm also not concerned about getting the light bar and fender lights installed right away. Camping season has begun and if there are 2-3 warm, dry days in a row, I'd rather spend my time camping.

Me too, waiting for the letter to call Campkins, but heading to Florida for a couple of weeks so I probably can't get it done til after.

Following this thread with some interest as we're planning some camping in ON this summer. Our '09 rPod doesn't have the extra lights. Guess we'll find out in June when we cross the border.

I emailed Forest River yesterday for more information. I'd rather have something from the manufacturer in hand when I head to my dealer.
I see that the date on the recall is December 30, 2010. I haven't received a recall notice. How about the other Canadians: has anyone seen a recall notice yet? |
Got my recall letter from Forest River last Friday, even so I traded the trailer last fall but it sits on the dealers lot unsold.

For parts, contact:
Marla Pullen Phone 574-642-3119 ext 209 E-mail mpullen@forestriverinc.com
And good luck with the recall work. Well, I'm confident that Campkins will do an excellent job. I've been very happy with the warranty work they've done for me so far.
That reminds me... I have to book in an appointment at Campkins for my R-POD's recall.

Have got my appointment at Campkins booked for August 9th. They said it would be a 6 hour job. Below is a post from the other forum where a Quebec dealer performed the upgrade.
Posted from National Forum
Just went for the recall today at the dealer in Marieville, Québec.
Everything went well, this is a 4 hours jobs and they put a kind of spoiler at the back (like the new RPod)
and 2 lights on each mudguard. The job was neat and look good. They told me they already made many of them with no problem.
I was curious were they would pass the wire for the spoiler and I see the spoiler attach with 3 screws on each side of the roof and on one side the wire goes under a plastic strip who was there before and goes down to the standard tail light.
