These
refrigerators
were installed in certain recreational vehicles as original equipment and sold
as aftermarket equipment. A fatigue crack may develop in the boiler tube which
may release a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution into an area
where an ignition source (gas flame) is present. This release of coolant under
certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
There are potentially 926877 units affected.
The
vehicle manufacturers will notify owners of recreational vehicles that had the
refrigerators installed as original equipment and Dometic will notify the owners
of the aftermarket refrigerators. Dometic will install a secondary burner
housing free of charge. Owners may contact Dometic at 888-446-5157
Customers may also contact the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or

What you should do!
If your refrigerator qualifies for the recall, you can schedule an appointment
with us for the repair. Until then your refrigerator must not be run on L.P. It
is preferable that you do not use the fridge at all, but if you must, do so on
electric and turn off the L.P. at the fridge.
The recall is absolutely free of charge and can be done
while you wait!
