| Description of the problem | After purchasing our forest river berkshire xl on august 1, 2016, i was following my wife during the day time, she noticed the headlights did not look correct. This was acknowledged by dealer. Their service personnel worked on correcting the headlights for 5 hours on august 2, 2016. The following night i could not see the road and had to closely followed my wife who was driving our car to the rv park. I did not drive at night until after i took the unit to the factory in elkhart, indiana on august 24th. The night after i left elkhart on august 26th i tested the headlights from high beams to low beam and they would turn off completely for about 10 seconds. Again i had to not drive at night until i returned to factory again on september 11th. They told me they were working on a recall for this headlight design. I'm trying to help them achieve this by reporting this hazardous design. When you are driving on a highway at 65 mph a lot can happen in 10 seconds. This is a safety issue with this headlight that should be resolved. |
