Recall 10V-584: Equipment
Problem: Gulf stream is recalling certain recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers 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: Gulf stream 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 recall began on march 23, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.

Recall 09V-135: Equipment
Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with suburban glass top, sealed burner ranges and cook tops, a threaded connector on the tube between the burner valve and the burner may not have been fully tightened during the manufacturing process.

Lp gas is heavier than air and any leaked gas could accumulate in an enclosed or low area in your recreational vehicle. A sufficient quantity of accumulated gas, if ignited, could cause a fire or explosion.
