Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailerReported August 6, 2008 · 22,372 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Skyline is recalling 22,372 my 2004-2007 alliance, aljo, celebrity, century, freestyle, layton, nomad, rampage, seaview, trailrider, and weekender fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Risk: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
Remedy: Skyline is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments.
