2003 Coachmen Spirit of America problems

2003 coachmen rv model 2652 serial # 21703167 dometic refrigerator that is on recall. The recall # is 06e-076, recall 08e-032. Earlier this year I believe it was april I went into my camper and I smelled a strong scent of ammonia. When I called about service and the dealer told me that the line in back of fridge probably busted which filled the rv with ammonia. They told me to turn my unit off until the refridgerator could be fixed or replaced and the cost would be approximately $1200. Recently I found out from a friend that my refrigerator was on the recall list. When I went to the web site and looked up the recall, the refrigerator had every symptom listed. (1) leakage in back of unit (2) yellow residue in back of unit (3) smell of ammonia (4) unit will not cool. #6 on the recall notice states that if you previously paid to repair or replace a dometic refrigerator that failed due to this defect, you can be reimbursed for your costs pursuant to dometic's pre-notification reimbursement program. I have not had the unit fixed because of the cost but if they are willing to reimburse for the cost then they should also fix it at no cost. I contacted the rv dealer this morning and was told to bring the rv to them to be fixed but on arrival was told they could put heat shield on the unit but that the cost of fixing the unit so that it would work would not be covered under the recall and therefore putting the heat shield on this would not help my unit. They said that I could pay the $1200 to fix the unit and then they would put a heat shield on it at no cost to prevent it from happening again. I feel that since the unit was damaged do to overheating which caused the line to burst it should be fixed under the terms of the recall, then they could also put the heatshield on to prevent it from happening again. Thank you.
