Remington Arms 17 HMR Recall
- by: Thomas Porter
- recipient: Fair compensation for Remington 597 magnum recall
This petition is to let Remington Arms know how consumers feel about the unfair compensation of their recall.
To Remington Arms:
We the undersigned are consumers of Remington products. Owners of Remington's model 597 .17 HMR Magnum Rifle demand fair compensation for the recall in effect. Below I have posted the exact verbiage from Remington Arms. I believe this is unfair compensation for an American company to treat it's loyal customers with so little respect. I feel that I speak for all Remington customers that this recall will make us follow another company who treats its customers with as much respect and loyalty as the consumers shows to them. Fair compensation should be a retail for retail swap of the firearm for another model of equal value or the full M.S.R.P. that Remington has set. All Remington customers will look to this when they purchase future firearms and wonder what will be the outcome for them if a recall happens to their firearms. No one wants to spend $587 for a firearm to turn around and the company offer them$250. Americans want to support a company that will support them. If this is not handled competently it will cause irreparable damage in our confidence in Remington arms. Please contact Remington at 1-800-243-9700, Prompt #3 and let them know this is unacceptable behavior.
Sincerely,
The Petition Signers
