Fresh water tank on 2014 FC
I just picked up my FC from the dealer after having the fresh water tank replaced because a spin weld (whatever the heck that is) had cracked and the tank was leaking. I wouldn't have posted, as this was covered under my extended warranty and other than time lost really wasn't a big deal, except that the service writer mentioned to me that this was a very common occurrence, and that the dealership replaced on the average of two fresh water tanks a month due to the same problem. Extrapolate this through all the dealers in the US, and this is quite a lot of tanks being replaced. With that rate of failure, for all I know the new tank will fail as well. I wonder why Airstream uses a component with such a high failure rate?
