NHTSA recall 09V324000
Equipment · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with certain norcold refrigerators. The coolant solution in these cooling units can escape.
Why it matters: If a leak occurs and the unit continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
The fix: Newmar is working with norcold to notify owners and the vehicles will be repaired free of charge. The remedy campaign will be conducted by norcold. The safety recall campaign began on October 19, 2009.
