Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Dutchmen Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Grand Junction and 2011 Voltage recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators. These refrigerators contain a sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak. However, the response times of these devices are not sufficiently fast to prevent a fire from potentially occurring.
Dutchmen is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners. According to the record, owners will be instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy at no charge. Affected consumers can contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or Dutchmen at 1-574-537-0700. The record also references Norcold's defect report 10E-049 for additional information.
