Problem: Gulf stream is recalling certain motorhomes equipped with norcold model 1200lr, 1200lrim, and 1201lrim refrigerators 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 the heat source could generate very high temperatures. at such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.
Risk: 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.
Fix: Gulf stream is working with norcold and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge. please also see norcold's defect notice 09e-027. the safety recall began on october 20, 2009. owners may contact gulf stream at 1-800-289-8787 or norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.
