COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Nov 7, 2006, covering about 9,845 vehicles.
The problem
On certain recreational vehicles built with dometic two-door refrigerators, a fatigue crack may develop in the boiler tube in the area of the weld between the boiler tube and the heater pocket. A fatigue crack may release a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source is present.
The risk
The release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
The fix
Coachmen is working with dometic to have these refrigerators repaired. The manufacturer has not yet submitted an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-574-825-5821 or dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157.
