2000 OVERLAND OSPRY
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
TechWorks is recalling one model year 2000 Overland Osprey recreational vehicle equipped with a 1200-series Norcold refrigerator. The refrigerator contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power when high temperatures are detected. However, these devices do not respond quickly enough to stop power in time to prevent a fire, which could cause personal injury, vehicle damage, or property damage.
TechWorks is working with Norcold to provide free repairs to affected units. According to the record, the safety recall was expected to begin during October 2011. Owners should contact Norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or refer to Norcold's defect report 10E-049 for information about obtaining the free repair.
