However, these devices do not respond quickly enough to stop power in time to prevent a fire from occurring.
New Horizons is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact a Norcold dealer to receive the remedy at no charge. Owners may contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 for more information, and additional details are available in Norcold's defect report 10E-049.
