What owners report
NORCOLD 1200 RECALL, BACK OF REFRIDGE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE ON GAS SETTING IN DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME AFTER A RETURN TRIP TO FLA.
I DELIVERED OUR RV TO A CERTIFIED WORKHORSE REPAIR CENTER TO HAVE THE #51101-C BRAKE RECALL ADDRESSED. THE WORKMANSHIP WAS EXCELLENT. MY COMPLAINT IS WORKHORSE DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE COMPLETE REPAIR. THEIR ARGUMENT IS THAT THE RV WASN'T DRIVEN ENOUGH. I PURCHASED THIS RV USED AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL WHEN I REGISTERED IT WITH WORKHORSE.COM. WHEN YOU READ THE TROUBLE TREE, PARAGRAPH 1.3/A, ALL THESE PARTS WERE CHANGED AND COMPLETED IN STEPS 8 & 9. THE TROUBLE TREE SAYS IT IS COVERED BUT THE WORKHORSE SERVICE DEPT. DOESN'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE COMPLETE BILLING. IN MY OPINION, THEY SHOULD. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH YOUR RESPONSE. *TR
