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

What happened

T&E Enterprises is recalling one recreational vehicle equipped with a 1200-series Norcold refrigerator. The refrigerator contains a sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak. The problem is that these safety devices may not respond quickly enough to prevent a fire from occurring.

To obtain the remedy, affected owners should contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101. Norcold dealers will provide the necessary repair free of charge once owners are identified and notified. Additional information is available in Norcold's defect report 10E-049. The record does not specify when the manufacturer will begin notifying owners.
