  • Brand DYNAMAX

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Dynamax Corporation is recalling certain 2009 and 2010 Dyna Aire 5th wheels that are 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 due to a possible hydrogen gas leak. However, these safety devices do not respond quickly enough to prevent a fire from occurring.

If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101. Dynamax is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners, who will then be instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy at no charge.
