Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
United Specialties is recalling certain 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 caused by hydrogen gas leaks. However, the response times of these safety devices are not fast enough to reliably prevent fires before they start.
Affected owners will be contacted by United Specialties and Norcold to receive the remedy free of charge at Norcold dealers. Owners can contact Norcold directly at 1-800-767-9101 for more information or to inquire about whether their vehicle is affected.
