Guarantee RVThe Problem
After some period of use, a fatigue crack may develop in the broiler tube of the covered refrigerators that may release a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source may be present. Potential ignition sources in this area include the refrigerator's propane burner and/or electric heating element. If this were to occur under certain conditions, the coolant could ignite and result in a fire. On the basis if these facts, Dometic has determined that the refrigerators may contain a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety.
Affected Units:
The potentially affected refrigerators have the following model numbers:
NDR1062, RM2652, RM2662, RM2663, RM2852, RM2862, RM3662, RM3663, RM3682
The possibly affected units have serial numbers beginning with the following combinations:
320xxxxx through 352xxxxx
401xxxxx through 452xxxxx
501xxxxx through 552xxxxx
601xxxxx through 639xxxxx
If you own one of the above units, it requires IMMEDIATE SERVICE and continuing use could result in a vehicle fire.
