Details

What's wrong: Certain motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 442, 443, 452, ev452, 453, 462, ev462, 463, ev463, 482, ev482, 483, ev483, 874, and 875 manufactured between January 1987 and May 1995. These refrigerators can experience a break down in a rubber seal within the gas valve. As the rubber seal ages, a leak may occur, allowing propane gas to accumulate in the burner area.

Why it matters: The consequence can result in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.

The fix: Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement gas valve free of charge.
