NHTSA recall 09V443000
Equipment · Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with norcold model 1200lr and 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from December 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased…
Why it matters: If a leak occurs and the unit is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
The fix: Tiffin is working with norcold and tiffin will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge by norcold. Please see norcold's defect report 09E-027.
