2004 NU WA Discover America recalls

Recall 08V-359: Equipment

Reported Jul 21, 2008 · 4,370 vehicles affected · NU WA INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: Nu wa is recalling certain my 2004-2007 recreational vehicles equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator 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: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.

Fix: Nu wa is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or nu wa at 1-620-431-2088.

Recall 04V-089: Equipment

Reported Feb 20, 2004 · 120 vehicles affected · NUWA INDUSTRIES INC.

Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with polar mach and polar cub air conditioners, the solar panel rubber well nuts could fracture the plastic shroud in the immediate area of the attachment hole.

Risk: The rubber well nuts could pull out of the plastic shroud, causing the solar panel to leave the top of the motor home, and increasing the risk of a road hazard or a crash.

Fix: Airxcel will reinforce the solar panels with metal mounting brackets free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact airxcel at 719-676-2326 or nuwa at 1-800-835-0676.
