Norcold issued a recall at the end of last year for over heating and fires. I have had this repair done twice and the refrigerator failed to work for the 3rd time today. It is not easy to take this in for repairs and is very upsetting to not be able to use the motorhome and having to stop and cancel your trip and return home.norcold needs to have a proper fix for this recall or replace refrigerator.

Equipment
- What is wrong
- Fleetwood rv is recalling certain model year 2005 and 2006 motorhomes manufactured between july 24, 2004 and march 11, 2005, 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 is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Fleetwood rv will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during september 2009. Owners may contact fleetwood rv at 1‑800‑509‑3418 or norcold's recall center at 1‑800‑767‑9101.
