Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Travel Units Inc. is recalling certain custom-designed recreational vehicles 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 from potential hydrogen gas leaks. However, the response times of these devices are not fast enough to reliably shut off power in time to prevent a fire from occurring.
If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101. Travel Units is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners, who will be instructed to visit Norcold dealers to receive the necessary remedy at no charge.
