Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
NRC Modifications, Inc. is recalling certain model year 1999 through 2010 motorhomes 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 to prevent fire. However, the response time of these devices is not sufficient to stop power quickly enough, creating a fire hazard if a hydrogen gas leak occurs.
According to the recall notice, affected owners will be contacted and instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive a remedy at no charge. Owners may also contact Norcold directly at 1-800-767-9101 or consult Norcold's defect report 10E-049 for additional information. The recall began on December 22, 2010.
