Details

What's wrong: Certain motor homes, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.

Why it matters: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.

The fix: Gulf stream will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06E076).
