Owner Responsibilities (Cont’d)
The following is a list of suggestions to assist you in avoiding most warranty issues:
1.
Read your warranties and review them with your selling dealer. The dealer’s obligation is to
educate you regarding the proper and safe operation of your Aviator and all its’ components.
2.
Be sure to inspect the entire unit and note any service issues.
3.
Locate all paperwork and ask any questions you may have before leaving the dealership.
NOTE: FOREST RIVER, INC. WANTS YOU TO HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE ADVENTURE
WITH YOUR NEW AVIATOR. TO GET THE MOST ENJOYMENT OUT OF YOUR NEW
AVIATOR AND TO INSURE YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR NEW AVIATOR
OPERATES, PLEASE ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE
REGARDING YOUR AVIATOR WITH YOUR DEALER BEFORE USING YOUR AVIATOR
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
NOTE: USE YOUR NEW AVIATOR RESPONSIBLY. YOUR AVIATOR WAS NOT
DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A PERMANENT DWELLING, BUT FOR SHORT TERM AND
RECREATIONAL USE. IF YOU INTEND TO USE YOUR AVIATOR AS PERMANENT
HOUSING, BE ADVISED THAT IT COULD CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR ON YOUR
APPLIANCES, FURNACE, WATER SYSTEMS, CARPET, DRAPES, UPHOLSTERY,
BEDDING AND INTERIOR SURFACES. THIS PREMATURE WEAR CAUSED BY
PERMANENT RESIDENCY MAY BE CONSIDERED ABNORMAL OR ABUSIVE USE, AND
COULD REDUCE OR IN SOME CASES VOID YOUR WARRANTY COVERAGE. ALSO
USING YOUR AVIATOR AS A PERMANENT DWELLING COULD VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
NOTE: ANY REPAIRS PERFORMED BY A NON-FOREST RIVER REPAIR CENTER MUST
BE PREAUTHORIZED BY THE AVIATOR DIVISON. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
DENIAL, OR PARTIAL RE-IMBURSEMENT.
THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE
NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA).
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR COULD CAUSE
INJURY OR DEATH, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY INFORM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) IN ADDITION TO NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER.
IF NHTSA RECEIVES SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, IT MAY OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AND IF IT FINDS THAT A
SAFETY DEFECT EXISTS IN A GROUP OF VEHICLES, IT MAY ORDER A RECALL AND REMEDY CAMPAIGN.
HOWEVER, NHTSA CANNOT BECOME INVOLVED IN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEMS BETWEEN YOU, YOUR DEALER,
OR THE MANUFACTURER. TO CONTACT NHTSA, YOU MAY EITHER CALL THE AUTO SAFETY HOT LINE, TOLL-
FREE AT 1-888-327-4236, HEARING IMPAIRED, 1-800-424-9153, (OR 366-0123 IN WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590.) YOU
