I have a customer that had to have 3 cooling units replaced and finally a new refer before the recall. His total cost for repairs was almost $4k. Due to severe limitations imposed by Dometic for reimbursement, it doesn't look like he'll be able to get anything. The fact they offer it sounds good on the surface, but when you read through all the limitations it's almost an empty promise. The most severe limitation is: "Time Limitation:
To be covered, the pre-recall repair must have occurred no earlier than August 28, 2005."
Here's the complete statement:
Instructions and forms for reimbursement for repairs before the recall
Regarding the above statement, I have some surprisingly good news. It took Dometic a little over 2 months to process and pay his claim, but Dometic reimbursed this customer for the total amount of ALL his cooling core failures. Yes, Dometic reimbursed him for all 3 cooling units that failed before the Aug 28, 2005 time limitation AND for the full cost of his new refer I installed in 2006. He called me today after receiving the check in his mail. Needless to say, he was very happy. Tim
