Forest River fined $35 Million
Maybe this will wake up not only F.R. but the rest of the RV manufacturers that it's time for a new business model that focues a little more on consumer safety: Forest River and NHTSA
Forum Discussion
I guess no body actually read the report..........
The settlement orders Forest River to pay a $35 million civil penalty, $5 million of which must be paid within 10 days. The other $30 million is deferred unless the company doesn’t comply with the other terms of the agreement.
FR pays $5 million and the other $30 million is deferred.
That means they comply with settlement terms (audits/monitoring etc in future) and they don't have to pay the $30 million.
Slap on wrist in business terms for not reporting/not recalling (until ordered) fire hazards and carbon monoxide issues.
What a GREAT company!!!
And the NHTSA......what a watch dog Grrrrrr
