2006 Forest river CARDINAL Interior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	704659
Internal NHTSA #	10251995
Manufacurer	FOREST RIVER, INC.
Brand	FOREST RIVER
Model	CARDINAL
Model Year	2006
File date	16/11/08
Component	INTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The overhead dc light was not working and the bulb was not burned out. I took the light fixture down and found a large scorched area on the soft ceiling. The phinalic (spelled wrong) spacer in the light fixture had crumbled and this was the cause for the bulb not working but this failure did not cause the scorching on the soft ceiling. I took pictures and sent them to a forest river representative but never heard back from them. I took the fixture and the pictures to the dealer i had purchased the rv from and they did nothing. I have since put my own makeshift wood spacer in between the soft ceiling and the light fixture. If the phinalic spacer had not burned out i believe the ceiling would have eventually ignited. The scorching was significant. The public needs to be aware of this and there needs to be a resolution before there is a fire.
