Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator 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.
