UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I received notice of a recall in June 2023. I contacted every nearby dealership in my area. None of the company service centers was able to complete the recall service. Because my vehicle has been converted into a motorhome (by a RAM approved upfitter), it is heavier that the standard vehicle and they told me they do not have the proper equipment to complete the anticipated repairs. I called the RAM custom service center and they were unable to locate a dealership to help me and unwilling to authorize reimbursement if I had the repairs completed by another qualified mechanic. After postponing any more follow-up, I received a second recall notice just recently. I again called the same dealers hoping to find a capable service center. They are all still unable to complete the repairs. After spending another 40+ minutes talking with a RAM customer service associate, they eventually told me that I could have the repairs performed and request a reimbursement - but that would not guarantee they would pay the costs of the repairs. I would like RAM to authorize me to have the repairs completed by a qualified mechanic and guarantee I will be reimbursed for the repairs related to the two recalls.

Unintended rapid deployment of the awning after pulling into a rest area. Had to climb up a ladder to manually retract the awning and duct tape the damaged awning to the rail. This could have happened while driving. This has happened to many, many other owners of the Coachmen class B RVs with the Carefree awnings. Upon inspection after returning home, the awning motor's plastic tabs were sheared off and the aluminum end plate was broken & distorted. My awning was not part of any recall as were some other Carefree awnings. This is a safety hazard with potentially life threatening consequences to other drivers.
Corrective Action:
Unintended rapid deployment of the awning after pulling into a rest area. Had to climb up a ladder to manually retract the awning and duct tape the damaged awning to the rail.

Defect Description:
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
For the second year in a row, we took a rock to our windshield from a truck and had to have the windshield replaced. The problem seems to be the bad mudflaps on especially semi-trucks or other trucks. Many trucks are missing the mudflaps or they are so thin, they blow upward by the wind. In reviewing semi's passing me, I did see an Amazon truck go by that had a AeroFlap mudflap that stayed down and would most likely prevent rocks from being thrown up to car or van windshields. To mimimize this safety problem and save many insurance companies or vehicle owners the cost of a new windshield, request the DOT move to require AeroFlap mudflaps on all trucks. Thanks
