OK so I have a 2006 WW FS2300. The previous owners did not use it much and I can see no damage on it at all (just lucky, I guess). The way I read the class action, you can only get a fix if you have existing damage.

It seems like I have 2 choices; wait until damage occurs and then get the fix from WW, or do somethinng now (on my own) to prevent any future damage. I know that performing "self service" will likely void the warrenty and limit any future claim for damages, but I also cant help thinking a little reinforcement added now would be one heck of a good insurance policy. Even if it costs me $$$.

Other related background information includes the fact that I live 3 days away from the nearest WW service center, and my worthless brother-in-law has only one redeaming quility, he can weld like a fiend and has the worlds biggest pile of scrap metal in his back yard.

All that said, what fix does WW provide? Do they just straighten the bent parts and add reinforcement? What kind of reinforcement and where is it added?
Whats the best way to reinforce the frame?

Thanks,

Look at the Court Documents in the Link starting at page 64 or so for drawings of the suggested repair.
