2008 QUEST CAR HAULER ATC
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Aluminum Trailer Company is recalling certain 2008 Quest car hauler ATC 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 from a possible hydrogen gas leak. However, the response times of these devices are not fast enough to shut off power in sufficient time to prevent a fire from occurring.
Affected owners will be identified and notified by Aluminum in coordination with Norcold. Owners should contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy at no charge. Owners may also call Norcold directly at 256-355-2090 for additional information, and can reference Norcold's defect report 10E-049 for more details about the recall.
