Tie rod boot seals are cracking and disintegrating and not holding grease and are unsafe and need to be replaced. Newmar issued a tsb on 10-19-2006 from trw to this problem but apparently not all effected owners were sent this tbs. I never recived one and my vehicle is in this group. There are many motor homes being driven on the road at the present with this unsafe problem. Accidents are going to start happening and trw and sparatan should step up and do the recall the right way and not handle it as a "silent recall".

Equipment
- What is wrong
- Newmar is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200 series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
- Risk
- The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
- Remedy
- Newmar is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on march 28, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1‑800‑767‑9101.
