Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: Tiffin is recalling certain recreational vehicle equipped with norcold model 1200lr and 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from december 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased the heat source could generate very high temperatures. At such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.
Risk: If a leak occurs and the unit is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Fix: Tiffin is working with norcold and tiffin will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge by norcold. Please see norcold's defect report 09e-027. Owners may contact norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation, these refrigerators 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: Tiffin motorhomes will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076).
