I got my notice in the mail yesterday. So I guess I'll call my local dealer and set up an appointment.

I haven't received my notice yet, but I'm willing to be patient. It's something I wouldn't have paid for myself, so this is a blessing. All I have now are reflectors on the fenders.

Mine has been at the dealer for about a week now. Just waiting on the kit. I had a leak where the back wall meets the roof. They fixed that. The light in the slide out wouldn't work. It was a bad connection so they fixed it also. My antenna is shot. Bought a portable one to use.

We received ours near the end of June (hard to say when as Forest River did not date the letter) but I did notice that they mailed it to the Address they had on record from when we purchused it. The Trailer is registered to a different address now so I'm not sure if they sent out the notices first to address they feel are correct and now searching DMV records but Susan Thornburg is the person working on them at Forest River. Susan Thornburg Telephone # 574-642-3119 extension 205. Her e-mail is sthornberg@forestriverinc.com. If you contact her you may want your serial number.

I sent Susan an email last week asking about our letter and explaining that we were second owners. She replied that the original letters went to original owners. She then asked for our sales documents showing current ownership. I scanned the original warranty form, out of state title signed to us and the Bill Of Sale and emailed them to her. She is to send us a letter this week, having just returned from a short vacation.

I picked my Pod up today from Anthem Rv and boat in the Phoenix ,Az. area, he did an excellant job and I had the Pod washed and waxed. My selling dealer refused to do warranty repairs and most dealers in the area no longer honor Forest River warranties. Kudos to Susan who helped me find another dealer willing to do the work. I know a lot of the owner"s on these forum"s rag hard on forest river, but as a serious camper of 30 plus years, their product is better than most at the price point they are in!

So what has been the average time between everyone calling your dealer for the recall letter work and the time they get the parts in to do the job?
When I called the local FR dealer the 1st thing he asked was... "Did you buy it here?" Which I did not! After that he was not very - lets just say "HAPPY" to help me! He did say he will order the parts and let me know when they come in. This was back on 7/6/12. But with the attitude I was getting from him..... don't know if he will drag his feet on this since I did not buy from him! Or I'm just impatient! Dont know! SO..... what has everyone been experiencing on this? |

I took mine in on the 16th. and the kit hasn't come in yet. Our temps. are supposed to drop into the upper 80's soon so I hope they hurry up with the parts. I can't stay outside in the upper 90's to 100*. So why go camping if I have to stay inside. BTW, it only got down to 79* last night!
