THIS COMPONENT WAS THE SUBJECT OF RECALL #98V196001, WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT VIKING DID NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS COMPONENT, AND THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED WITH A LIGHT ASSEMBLY. HOWEVER, IF AT A FUTURE DATE VIKING FOUND A SIMILAR PRODUCT, THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WITH A LIGHT AND FAN COMBINATION. THIS FEATURE WAS ONE THAT SOLD US ON THIS MODEL OF RV, SO WE DECIDED TO WAIT FOR THE REPLACEMENT LIGHT AND FAN COMBINATION.

WHILE RAISING THE ROOF OF THE POP-UP CAMPER, THE LIFT CABLE BROKE AND THE ROOF FELL. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I FOUND A RECALL ON MY MODEL AND YEAR FOR INSTALLING A SAFETY BRAKE TO PREVENT THE ROOF FROM FALLING IF THE CABLE BREAKS (RECALL - CAMPAIGN #05V364000). THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECALL SAYS MY CAMPER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SINCE THE ROOF FELL WHEN THE LIFT SYSTEM FAILED I AM NOT SURE WHY I CANNOT HAVE MY CAMPER FIXED. I CANNOT GET A DESCRIPTION FROM THEM EXPLAINING IT TO ME.
