I recently experienced a failure of the Dash A/C on the ref RV. After calling Freightliner, Savannah to find our if they serviced Dash A/C’s, which they informed me they did, I decided to have it inspected locally to rule out a quick fix like recharge the refrigerant. The Mobile RV Mechanic, whom I have used several times previously and is very competent, troubleshot the system and found that the A/C compressor was not engaging. He then found that there was only .2V to the compressor clutch plug. Suspecting the PDM, he called Freightliner Tech services to determine the location of the PDM on this model. They informed him that there was a recall, FL917A, on this VIN that might well be the root of the problem. I was never informed of the recall, either by mail or during the two previous times I have had the RV into Freightliner, Savannah for other recall service or when I called to ask about Dash A/C service. I confirmed my registration with Freightliner for the Referenced VIN. The Subj recall states that if work has been performed prior to receiving the recall, Freightliner will reimburse the owner of that work. Freightliner has refused to reimburse me stating that the technican did not repair the failure. When, in fact, the real failure was Freightliner's failure to notify me of the recall and the technican did fix that. Freightliner owes me the $400.00 I paid to find out there was a recall to fix the Dash A/C.
