Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 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 to prevent fires caused by potential hydrogen gas leaks. However, the sensing devices may not shut off power quickly enough to prevent a fire from occurring.
Affected owners will be contacted by Tiffin and Norcold to arrange free repairs at Norcold dealers. Owners can contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or Tiffin at 1-256-356-8661 for more information about the remedy or to report if they own an affected vehicle.
