U.S. Rpod Owners 2009-2010 models: PLEASE READ

    We recieved our letter in the mail about two weeks back. We took it to Camping World about five days later to have it looked at. They ordered the recall kit that day. Friday they called and said the recall package arrived and we have a appointment tommorow to have the work done. They said it would take a few hours. And since I had already added lights to the fenders they said that Forest River asked that they take pictures of the fenders showing that they were in compliance with the law. So they will just be adding the light bar on top of the Rpod.   David 

My dealer was having the parts department get a list of trailers together to order a bunch at a time.  from my call to theirs telling me they had the parts was about 2 weeks.  Mine is scheduled to go in on the 6th.

Here is a cut & paste from the comments section of the May 23rd post on the recall facebook page. (The comments are dated May 30)

OK something I have been wondering since I saw the Notice come from Forest River.  The notice did not include alot of the langauge a normal recal notice has and also it was not dated, the printed font was very large and other items did not seem right.  The outside envolope included my name and old mailing address (not my address that the DMV has) along with my r-pod serial number.  I received a notice this morning from NHTSA to the recall.  Seems I missed that Forest River had petitioned the ruling from May .  Guess they need to go all the way till they are pushed by the Government to do the right thing and fix the 2,741 Trailer running without the proper lighting.

I'm well into my 3rd week of waiting for the parts to arrived, unless the dealer lied to me (wouldn't be surprised) and didn't order the kit when they said they would.
