I HAVE A 2006 R-VISION MOTORHOME WITH A DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR- ALMOST 3 YEARS TO THE DATE I GET A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE MY MOTOR COULD CATCH ON FIRE !- MY REFRIGERATOR NEEDS ABOUT $1000 IN REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THEIR INFERIOR MANUFACTURE-NOW THEY TELL ME IT IS OUT OF THEIR 3 YEAR WARRANTY-THE ORIGINAL RECALL STARTED IN 2003- HOW COME THEY WAIT UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS OUT BEFORE NOTIFYING ME ?? ALSO THEY TELL ME IT IS ONLY A SAFETY RECALL- NOT A FIX RECALL. THE MOTORHOME ONLY HAS 17000 MILES-HASN'T BEEN USED IN 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS. MY WIFE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PANCREATIC CANCER 6 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT THE MOTORHOME FOR OUR RETIREMENT IN WHICH WE NEVER GOT TO DO !!! *TR
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.
