Have recalls such as these been happening consistantly over time? Or is this something new?
Has something changed which is forcing manufacturers to acknowledge and take responsibilities for their errors?
I seriously doubt you can find a week without either an RV, Car or Pickup truck (or larger) being "recalled".. Many of the recalls are petty. some are serious. IT is important your RV (And cars) be properly registered with the manufacturer.
Short story: Serious recall on my RV (Fire hazard) I did not get the letter because the dealer which said "We will do all the registrations" did not.. Thankfully I learned about it on line. contacted my contact at the manufacturer and got an E-mail copy of the letter. Went to the Authorized service center and they ask if I got the part (Which they had in stock and which went out with the recall letter) I told 'em the above and they said "Can't do it without the part" I told 'em schedule the job and re-called my contact. Turns out my house was between his house and his office.. He dropped the part off on his way home.. I taped it to his card and 2 weeks later handed it in to the shop.... After that I got GREAT service from the shop. (My contact was the national customer service manager for Workhorse. he's the one who decides IF you are an authorized service center).
