Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with norcold refrigerators. 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: Kzrv is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators (please see 08E030). Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions.
