What happened

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators. These refrigerators contain either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power when high temperatures are detected to prevent fires. However, these devices do not respond quickly enough to shut off power in sufficient time to prevent a fire from occurring if hydrogen gas leaks.

According to the record, Keystone is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Affected consumers can contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or Keystone at 866-425-4369 for more information, and should reference Norcold's defect report 10E-049.
