Is my product affected?

2007 PREVOST LE MIRAGE XL 2

  • Brand PREVOST

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

What happened

GeoMarc, Inc. is recalling certain 2007 Prevost Le Mirage XL2 motor coaches equipped with 1200-AC Series Norcold refrigerators. These refrigerators contain 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 safety devices are not sufficient to prevent a fire before it occurs.

Affected owners will be identified and notified by GeoMarc in coordination with Norcold. Owners should contact a Norcold dealer to receive the remedy free of charge. Owners may also contact GeoMarc at 1-256-272-0441 or Norcold at 1-256-355-2090 for more information. Additional details are available in Norcold's defect report 10E-049.
