Details

What's wrong: Certain travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units. 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.
