Equipment
- What is wrong
- Techworks is recalling one model year 2000 overland ospry recreational vehicle 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
- An insufficient response time can result in power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
- Remedy
- Techworks is working with norcold to get the units repaired free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049. The safety recall is expected to begin during october 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1‑800‑767‑9101.
