Problem: Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in certain tubing in the refrigerator which could allow pressurized flammable coolant solution to be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.

Risk: This could result in a fire.

Fix: Keystone rv will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burner housing and thermal fuses free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign.
