And some of us affected by the recall are still waiting for parts to get to the dealer. Been waiting since May. There's 4 pods at the storage lot I use. I've noticed that only 1 has had the added lights.

FYI, formal Customer complaint to DOT/NHTSA was on 5/8/2010. Don't ask me how I know that. :-)
Quite a bit actually did occur during those big gaps in time, mostly having to do with loopholes in law allowing artificial delays to be created in the process. Am amazed how much is going on behind the scenes that isn't made transparent to the public.

They only ship these when a new R-Pod is ordered. I had to wait some time before my light bar arrived. I guess this is to save shipping costs.

March 20th 2012 is my guess (Vernal Equinox). A board will meet sometime in November where there will be a 'proposed rule'. Nothing in December. A final rule will be made in January or February. Completed Action in March.

We bought our 2011 Pod at the end of 2010 at a good price because of the change in colour. We didn't take delivery of the unit until April 1st and tried to get the work done before we picked it up. We were told by Campkins that they could not do the work because they had yet to receive any information or part from Forest River. We were also told that we would be notified by the MTO (Ministry of Transprotation Ontario) of the recall one the vehicle was plated (which happened in April).
I am now realizing, after putting the trailer away for the winter, that I have heard nothing about the recall on our Pod. Somehow, somewhere, someone has dropped the ball when it comes to our unit. Not sure I want to be taking it down to the dealers now, with our luck we'll get snow and I'll have a heck of a time trying to get it back into storage.
It is a good thing we love our trailer and have had lots of adventures with her.

I just purchased a 2012 rp 177 today The sales person mentioned the recall and had already put the required lighting on mine. But yes if you haven't got a recall notice go to your nearest r pod sales rep and see about it. Can hardly wait for next summer

Hello Everyone!! Has there been any pictures posted of an R-POD with the added lights? I want to make sure that my 2011 R-POD has the required lighting mentioned in this recall. I am in Canada and purchased my demo R-Pod in the fall. Thanks everyone. I really cannot wait to try my trailer out for the first time in the Spring.

If you have three lights in the rear top of the trailer (think the back of a semi) along with lights over the wheels, you will have the new 2011 model. I was looking for photos of ¡Podtástic! and only have pictures of the front and the side, but none of the back.

This is what the spoiler looks like.

Thanks for the details. We are good to go! Glad to see that our Dealer or Forest River installed these lights before I received my trailer. The only thing left for me is to pick up my R-DOME which was not availalable when I picked up my trailer. I also am considering the awning that some of the owners have been buying aftermarket as a preferred option to the R-DOME.
