2008 SIERRA UNITED; 2005 SIERRA CIMARRON; 2008 SIERRA FEATHERLITE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Sierra Custom Interiors is recalling certain model year 2005 Cimarron and model year 2008 Featherlite and United trailers equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators. These refrigerators contain a sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power when high temperatures are detected to prevent fire in the event of a hydrogen gas leak. However, the response times of these devices are not sufficiently fast to stop power before a fire could occur.
Sierra is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners. According to the recall notice, owners will be instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Owners may contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 for additional information and instructions. The record does not specify what remedy will be provided.
