Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Equipment
Problem: Newmar 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.
Fix: Newmar 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 safety recall began on march 28, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
Electrical system:wiring
Problem: Newmar is recalling 328 model year 2008 through 2010 recreational vehicles manufactured between april 16, 2007 and april 22, 2009. An inadvertent deviation in ground cable sizing occurred resulting in wire gauge undersizing.
Risk: Undersized electrical conductors may result in conductor failure, creating a shock or fire hazard without warning.
Fix: Newmar will notify owners and provide a free remedy. The safety recall is expected to begin during august 2009. Owners may contact newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
Trailer hitches
Problem: Newmar is recalling 913 my 2007-2009 all star me, dutch star dp, my 2007-2008 kountry star dp, my 2007 mountain aire dp, and my 2009 dutch aire dp and ventana dp motor homes built on spartan chassis and equipped with putnam hitches. After some period of use, certain trailer hitches may develop stress fractures due to sharp radii and /or tool marking.
Risk: Fractures in the suspect hitches may result in hitch separation, potentially resulting in injury and/or property damage.
Fix: Newmar is working with spartan who will replace the trailer hitch free of charge (please see 08v567). Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
