Rick, what you say is not true. From what I've read on the recall it's only certain models of some years. Mine for example is not included in the recall. In my experience this type recall (I was invovled in a recall from Norcold) is handled by the RV media. I.E. Trailer Life, Escapees Mag, Hiways, etc. Tracking down owners via DT is very difficult because they sell to dealers who then sell to customers who after 3 years sell to other customers etc. When we buy our units there are warrenty cards for all the items in our trailer that if sent to the product manufacturers will allow them to notify us of future recalls. It would be nice if our trailers could be handled like cars, but they are very different in that the assembler (that's what RV manufacturer are) can't control the various product manufacturers. Even with cars the system is not perfect. Remember the Firestone tire issue. Nobody knew who had what tires. The problem needed to be handled by the media.
