NHTSA recall 08V383000
Equipment · Gulf Stream Coach, Inc.
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: Gulf stream 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. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign.
