What owners report
THE WELDS HOLDING THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL TO THE RIM ON THE CHROME WHEELS THAT CAME AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON MY 2005 ALPENLITE 5TH WHEEL TRAILER HAVE FAILED. THREE OF THE FOUR WHEELS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ONE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY SEPARATED WHEN I DISCOVERED IT. SINCE WESTERN R V IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHO SUPPLIED THEM WITH THESE DEFECTIVE WHEELS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY UNIT AND THAT ANOTHER OWNER WILL HAVE A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. *TR
DOMETIC RECALL 08E-032 RV REFRIG. RECALLS ARE LISTED FOR MY REFRIGERATOR AS A FIRE HAZARD AND MY UNIT WAS AFFECTED AS PER DOMETIC. BRIGHT YELLOW POWDER WAS NOTED AT THE REAR OF THE UNIT. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER FOR EXAMINATION AND THE UNIT BURST AT THE BURNER UNIT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL IS NOTED AS A SAFETY PROBLEM. UPON CONTACT WITH KIM AT THE DOMETIC HOTLINE, SHE ADVISED THAT MY UNIT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT BE SERVICED. IS THIS A SAFETY RECALL OR A WARRANTY RECALL? TO THE SERVICING DEALER, WEBBS RV IN LAKESIDE CA., 619 443-5073 IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE RECALL DOES NOT STATE THAT THE UNIT HAS TO BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR RECALLS. *TR
