Problem: Certain motor homes and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, 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: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.

Fix: Fleetwood will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076). 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 you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.

Problem: Vehicle description: class a motor homes. The hydraulic hoses which operate the leveling jack system were routed too close to the engine exhaust or near a sharp edge. The hot exhaust can cause the hose to melt, and a sharp edge could cut the hose, releasing hydraulic fluid.

Risk: Hydraulic fluid leakage can be ignited by the engine's catalytic converter and cause a fire.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the lines and, if necessary, replace and reroute the lines.
