A new travel trailer was sold while there was a stop sale recall notice on it. The heaters in the bedroom and bathroom represent a fire hazard. This was only discovered after registering the purchase with the manufacturer. The warranty/service personnel from United RV disputed this claim even though the notices were provided to them. Those are attached to this complaint, Forest River ID: 91-1740 and NHTSA recall 24V137. This is a violation of Federal Law pursuant to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act, 49 CFR Part 573.11 United RV eventually relented and repaired the unit. However during that time claimed we had damaged the roof through wear and hail damage requiring a total replacement. However in consultation with Forest River we retrieved the unit and on careful maintenance and inspection have determined that there is in fact no damage at all. It was this and other practices at United RV that triggered us to file this complaint in the hopes that they will cease these business practices immediately. We were finally able to reach the owners by circumventing middle management and were promptly promised swift action. It is our hope that this complaint and others ensures this actually happens. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

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.
