Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a norcold refrigerator. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak.

Why it matters: Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.

The fix: Forest river is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators. Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. The recall is expected to begin during July or August 2008.
