Equipment

What is wrong
Jayco is recalling 273 model year 2002-2004 legacy fifth wheel motorhomes equipped with norcold model 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from march 1, 2001 to december 31, 2002, 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
Jayco will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during august 2009. Owners may contact jayco at 1‑800‑283‑8267 or norcold's recall center at 1‑800‑767‑9101.
