Topic: Safety Recall Posted: 17 Aug 2012 at 8:32pm |
Picked up our pod today with it's new fender lights and spoiler lights. Our FR dealer is about 40 miles away, a quick check shows the mileage might have improved a little bit. Handling is about the same. I look forward to our trip next month over to New Hampshire, should get a better read on the mileage.

Hi all,
Our dealer finally got the notice and parts, so we should have our spoiler and updated lights by August 12th. They did advise that it will be a day job. They don't appear to be moving to fast but it will finally be done. I will then do a mileage test on some of Vermont roads and report back with the results. |

Our dealer said it will take four hours and we are having it done on August 2nd. We just got a used 2011 Rpod 177 and along with the paperwork came a recall sheet. We are planning to go camping next weekend and can't get the light kit on any sooner.

I moved your post into this thread, figured it was all the same topic. We have some numbers for FR listed in this thread: http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2747&title=misc-forest-river-contacts-and-other-info

I rec'd my recall notice. I live in Columbus Ohio. When I looked at Forest River sirt, it looks like I need to travel 2-3 hours to get to an "authorized" dealer to get the work done. Does anyone have an email or phone number for Forest River. They need to find a closer location!!

there are lights on both the front and back of the fenders. I did not see a reason to show both lights but they are there and working. as stated in another thread, I certainly hope that these lights last a while. I am going to Northern PA early next month. |

I'd almost guarantee, that was intentional. FR wants to service as few of these as possible. They didn't agree with the issue/ruling to begin with, so trying to "hold-back", spending as little money as possible is what they want to do.

Probably the only solution is to add mud flaps or a mud curtain on the back of your TV during towing.

The lights on the fenders get cracked, we've had one broken and one burn out from a hit we've only been out maybe 4 times since we had our mod done.
We don't know what else to do, we don't go down a lot of gravel roads but rocks fly up high enough to hit a windshield I image there's even more bouncing down low. They don't make any other lights as far as we know but the next one that breaks I'll be asking for a volume discount.
