Details

What's wrong: The swivel nut which is an integral connection component of a pressure tap device has "stress corrosion cracking."

Why it matters: This cracking can lead to an open fracture in the brass nut, potentially allowing propane gas to leak.

The fix: Norcold is conducting the notification and remedy for this recall. Dealers will remove the swivel nut/pressure tap component and replace with a remedy kit.
