The recall doesn't have anything to do with the fans. It is to more securely attach 110 volt wires to the wall. The fans are 12 volt.
What made you think the fans failed?
OTOH. testing the fans probably added 5 minutes to the job. They were already in there for the wiring issue. I think your dealer took advantage of you.Last edited by huntindog; 11-24-2022 at 02:43 PM.

The recall was a safety issue. I understand that. Two days prior to our first trip I turned on the fridge. In 24 hours it got to proper temp. The day of our trip the fridge was at 68 and the freezer at about 38. Through observation I saw the fans weren’t working. I took a household fan and blew air up through the bottom vent and the unit cooled to proper temps again. I tried on each of our trips to use the fridge without the household fan. It would not cool. The dealer can’t explain it. Act of God? Loose wire that reconnected when they fixed the warranty issue? I have no idea why the fans started working again. My trailer is in storage until next May. My concern is that the fans don’t work again and the fridge is then out of warranty. Mind boggling to say the least.Mike & Linda

[QUOTE=Dakota;457822]I have never had this issue when I took mine to the dealer with a laundry list of things to include drawer pulls, 3 season door latches, and even decals. The covered it all including all labor. The ONLY exception would have been if I had work this brakes out because I pulled it so much, but that would have worn the tires out too. So I don’t know why your dealer is doing that… It makes me feel like they were gonna double dip on you, get it covered by GD and then charge you too. I realize that is inflammatory for me to say, but I have never heard of such a thing within the first 12 months. I might write to GD and ask them them and get their view (if it were me). I might also look for another dealer. If you go to GD and tell them this and that you have no trust in your dealer, they have been known to authorize a mobile tech to come to your place, you pre-pay, you get it reimbursed and you show GD before you hire the GD the list. Just another thought if your dealer seems to be less than above board. Just my opinion based on how they treated you.

[QUOTE=Dakota;457822]I have replaced my fans. The first symptom was a 5 amp (IIRCC) fuse blowing on the circuit board. I would replace it and it would work for awhile, then blow again. After several trips it got to the point that it would blow as soon as it was replaced. I then found out that this fuse powered the fans. As they got worse and worse the fuse blew faster until it happened immeadiatly. The stock fans are cheap junk. I replaced them with water resistant fans rated for 50,000 hours. They cost about 20.00 each and should prertty much be a permanent fix. I think your dealer likely just replaced the fuse. The stock fans are a 2-3 dollar item. Forget about the warranty, get some quality fans installed and be done with it

If you have a dealer look at something that is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, then, yes, you would be liable for the time spent.
Manufacturer's do not pay for diagnostic time on things that are not covered under the warranty.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

Are you all talking about the "Forever Warranty" that comes at no cost. Or is this a paid for warranty.

Hi Steve,
Yes - they could have socked me $1100 if everything I brought in they couldn't diagnose or find a problem with. I went back to pick it up today and there were a half dozen items the tech didn't see that the service writer went out with me to confirm. He said yup, took pictures to send to GD for warranty, and knocked the diagnosis charges off the bill. Wound up paying about $190 most of which was time on the Goosebox and furnace duct leak and I have no problem with that as long as the dealer provides me with their purchase record so I can deal directly with Horizon Global and get the valve leak fixed and they re-visit the ductwork leak.
So now any warranty repairs are in GD's and their suppliers court - dealer has confirmed and sent time estimates out with pictures.Robin & John
