I recently read recall #02v237 on the monaco coaches which relates to the floor truss network. I am having a problem which sounds exactly like this with my class a, 2000 winnebago horizon. One of the rear body mounts has ripped off the frame, and has been rewelded twice. Structural pieces which run perpendicular and parallel to the frame have sheared and are cracked. Body panels have collapsed which have allowed carbon monoxide fumes into the coach. The coach has been attended to six times for this problem including once at the winnebago factory in forrest city, ia, where I was assured every thing was fine. The body mount ripped off the frame 675 miles down the road. Since then two winnebago dealers have looked at the problem and have said they cannot repair the damage. I feel this problem should be investigated, because serious safety issues are at hand. Forrest city,

Equipment
- What is wrong
- Winnebago 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
- Winnebago 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 recall began during december 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1‑800‑767‑9101 or winnebago at 1‑641‑585‑3535.
