2008 TRIPLE E RV TOPAZ; 2007 TRIPLE E RV EMPRESS
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Triple E is recalling certain 2007 Empress and 2008 Topaz motor homes that are 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, the response times of these devices are not fast enough to prevent a fire from occurring.
To obtain a remedy, affected owners should contact Norcold dealers, who will provide the repair free of charge. Owners may call Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 to identify whether their vehicle is affected and to schedule service. Additional information is available in Norcold's Defect Report 10E-049.
