Pull your last 4 digits and compare them to the range listed. If your number is within that range you're a part of it.

Many thanks for posting the VIN range. Ours is affected and our dealer had no clue about the recall, so we're waiting to hear when we have to get the work done.

Our 179 is 2015 but I'll check anyway. When I got our Pod in April a guy I work with said he was traveling through Wisconsin when he saw an Rpod on the side of the road with the driver side wheel ripped off and some carnage on the road. Ironically a few miles up the road he got a flat tire.

Are you one of the affected Vin Numbers? I don't think many of the units in it actually made it out into the retail world.

Those of us who went through the light bar recall a few years ago had differing experiences. In most cases, any FR dealer was able to do the repair. |
Same deal as HuronSailor, I was also able to go to any authorized Forest River dealer for my recall work. I chose one that was close to my work just out of convenience.
Recall work is usually easier than warranty work to get done at other places than your selling dealer.
