NHTSA recall 02V277006
Equipment · KZRV, LP
Details
What's wrong: Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200lr and 1200rim with serial numbers between 700000 and 1008700. These refrigerators can experience low cycle fatigue failure which can lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.
Why it matters: If a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
The fix: Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge.
