Ha! This totally reminds me of the rant I made back in March (on page 39). Probably worth repeating. Read on.....Tim

Yeah, this will cost them, but the real cost won't be felt until it's time for their current customers to purchase new equipment. How they handle this problem will make the difference there. Dometic is a big company and is owned by an even larger (huge) parent company. I seriously doubt they will be facing bankruptcy over the cost of this recall.
My way of thinking is they should take their lumps, do the right thing by their customers and those customers will remain loyal. If that means going out of business, then so be it. The way I see it, it's black and white. Then again, I'm old fashioned and believe in the old ways. Today it's all about covering your ass and maintaining high profit margins. The big corporations don't look at long term anymore, they're only looking at short term profits. This is what got them into trouble in the 1st place. Doesn't look like they've learned their lesson because it appears they're using the same practices to try and save their bacon. If they do go bankrupt this will be the reason for their demise. I Don't mean to step on any toes with this rant, but this is my opinion, and Dometic isn't the only one it applies to. Tim
