Yes I have a unit that is affected.
My question is this, if in fact the failure rate is higher on these units because of a higher wattage heating element. Should Dometic also stand behind the repair of stress fractures of the cooling unit beyond the original warranty period even though the unit didn't catch fire? Lets say that the average life of the unit is 10 years before the unit would would die of old age. Now the life of these units will only last an average of five years before a failure occurs. Their fix only addresses the fire issue and not the shortened life of the units. So my concern is that Dometic reduces the fire hazard so your rig won't burn down. They will even reimburse owners that have had to repair their units before this recall, but about a failure that occurs afterwards. It looks like the rest of us are on our own after the recall is completed unless we hear something to the contrary.
What do you think?
