What happened

Entegra Coach is recalling certain fifth wheel trailers 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 in order to prevent fires caused by hydrogen gas leaks. The problem is that these safety devices do not respond fast enough to shut off power before a fire could occur.

Owners of affected trailers should contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101. Entegra is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners, and owners will be instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Additional information is available in Norcold's Defect Report 10E-049.
