What happened

Coachmen RV Company is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators. These refrigerators have a sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak. However, these safety devices do not respond quickly enough to prevent a fire from occurring.

Coachmen is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners. Owners who are contacted will be instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy at no charge. Affected consumers can contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 for more information.
