21 rappels de manufacturiers pour juillet 2017

Qu’est-ce qu’un Rappel?

Lorsqu'un fabricant de véhicule ou l'Administration Nationale américaine de la Sécurité du Trafic Routier (la NHTSA) détermine qu'une voiture ou un équipement de véhicule crée un risque déraisonnable pour la sécurité ou ne respecte pas les normes de sécurité minimales, le fabricant est tenu de réparer sans frais ce véhicule ou ce matériel au consommateur. Cela peut se faire en le réparant, en le remplaçant, en proposant un remboursement (pour l'équipement) ou, dans de rares cas, le rachat du véhicule. Au Canada, nous Transports Canada qui voit à ce que de telles campagnes de rappels soient soumises au public. Comme la grande majorité des véhicules nord-américains sont produits ou assemblés aux États-Unis, particulièrement pour les VR (sauf quelques rares exceptions). C’est donc la NHTSA qui prend généralement l’initiative de provoquer ces rappels auprès des manufacturiers.

Comme vous le savez maintenant depuis 2005, VRcamping.com c’est tout d’abord LE CARAVANIER AVANT TOUT auprès de ses 50,000+ Membres!  Nous vous soumettons donc depuis maintenant plusieurs années la liste des rappels de tous les Véhicules Récréatifs qui ont été lancés durant le mois de juillet 2017. Mais à compter de juillet 2017, nous ajoutons donc quelque chose de plus : nous ajoutons également tous les rappels de voitures automobiles!

Que dois-je faire si mon véhicule est inclus dans un rappel?

Si votre véhicule est inclus dans l’un des rappels qui suit, il est très important que vous le répariez le plus tôt possible compte tenu du danger potentiel pour vous et vos passagers. Vous devriez recevoir une lettre distincte par la poste du fabricant du véhicule, vous informant du rappel et expliquant quand la réparation sera disponible, qui contacter pour réparer votre véhicule ou votre équipement, et pour vous rappeler que la réparation sera effectuée sans frais pour vous. Si vous croyez que votre véhicule est inclus dans l’un de ces rappels, veuillez contacter sans délai le manufacturier de votre VR ou le concessionnaire qui vous l’a vendu.
