NHTSA recall 11V074000
Equipment · FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Why it matters: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected may not activate in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
The fix: Fleetwood rv is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10E-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on June 6, 2011.
