A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP. ONCE AT THE SHOP, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR COULD NOT BE MADE BECAUSE THE BOILER HAD ALREADY LEAKED. IN ORDER TO PERFORM THE WORK MENTIONED IN THE RECALL, THE BOILER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED; HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HE CALLED DOMETIC AND THEY AGREED WITH THE MECHANIC.
