| Description of the problem | Rcd-315 radio died. While driving on country road, radio popped and died. After electrical test of fuses and internet search, i determined that the radio could not be repaired. The safety issue on this is that the bluetooth module was still active and there was no way to turn it off other than unplugging the bluetooth. Since i use hands free phone, this is a hazardous failure. I located 100's of websites that talked about this radio issue and the resulting electrical problems that this failure causes. This issue should be a recall priority. |
