I OWNED A 1999 COACHMAN FUTURA LITE TRAVEL TRAILER RM 2652 SERIAL NUMBER 82202673. WE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE REFRIGERATOR FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I DID NOT HER ABOUT THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR RECALL. THE TRAVEL TRAILER BURNED TO THE GROUND. A SLEEPING MOTHER AND A 3 YER OLD ESCAPED, THE PETS - A MOTHER DOG AND PUPPY UNABLE TO BE RESCUED DIED TRAPPED IN THE FIRE. I TALKED TO THE DOMETIC HOTLINE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND ME A PACKAGE TO MAKE A CLAIM BUT NO PACKAGE ARRIVED AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE COMMUNICATING WITH ANY ONE FROM DOMETIC. I HAVE A TOTAL LOSS OF MY TRAVEL TRAILER- THE SIDE WHERE THE TRAVEL TRAILER REFRIGERATOR WAS IS BURNED ORANGE. THE FIRE WAS SUDDEN AND INTENSE BURNING UP THE ENTIRE TRAVEL TRAILER IN A VERY SHORT TIME. I WANT DOMETIC TO BEGIN TO TALK TO ME AND SETTLE WITH ME FOR THE LOSS. I HAVE NEVER EVER RECEIVED ANYTHING AS A WARNING FROM DOMETIC, RECALL NOTICE, OR RESPONSE TO ME CALLING ABOUT THE FIRE. I NEED GOVERNMENT AGENCY HELP. IS THERE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR DOMETIC LEGAL REP I NEED TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS? HOW CAN I GET AN ENGINEER TO VERIFY THE FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE REFRIGERATOR. THE COUNTY IT BURNED DOWN IN DOES NOT HAVE A FIRE MARSHALL. THE DEPUTY ON THE SCENE OF THE FIRE VERBALLY SAID THE FIRE LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED IN THE REFRIGERATOR BUT I DO NOT HAVE HIS REPORT AND HE ALSO SAID THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO GET AN ENGINEER TO DO A REPORT. WILL DOMETIC SETTLE THIS CLAIM OR DO I HAVE TO GET MY OWN ATTORNEY TO FORCE DOMETIC TO RESPOND TO THIS CLAIM? I

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
