Since the recall covers so many years, this has been a point of confusion. You'd think they would have put 2 digits there to indicate year. Oh well, not such a big deal I guess. It's not like any of these things will last a whole 10 years anyhow :S. By the way, it's illegal to charge the end customer money to perform a recall. They are not required to reimburse you for travel and lodging, but they could be fined $15,000 if they get caught billing you for the install. Charging you a service call to come out is a gray area, I'm not sure if charging for that is allowed or not. Tim Mine has lasted 10 yrs and never given me an ounce of trouble. I am almost tempted to ignore the recall except that the 5th wheeler sits in the driveway between trips with only 7 feet of clearance between it and our house and the same on the neighbors side as well. They only burn on propane...if you stay on electric no problem....597Views0likes0Comments
