Problem: Tiffin motorhomes is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators.

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.
