All recalls
Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- Peterson industries is recalling certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators.

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
- Peterson industries 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 january 12, 2011.

Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong

Recall number 08V415000 · Recall details
Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- Peterson is recalling 42 my 2007-2008 excel limited edition fifth wheel trailers equipped with atwood sealed burner ranges. The range and slide-in burner tubes leading from the gas manifold to the burner heads had a depression or "kink" in the exterior bend restricting proper airflow and gas mixture.
- Risk
- This condition could result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Remedy
- Peterson is working with atwood to have the tubes replaced on these ranges (please see 07e030). Owners may contact atwood at 1‑800‑348‑7418 or peterson at 1‑785‑282‑6825.

- Risk
- Loss of braking can increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dexter has modified the remedy for these vehicles (please see 06e029). A new larger caliper mounting nut will be installed. For more information you may contact dexter axle at 1‑800‑400‑2164 or peterson at 1‑800‑368‑3759.
