The problem

Rexhall is recalling 6 motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerators. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak.

The risk

Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.

The fix

Rexhall is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e-030). Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or rexhall at 661-726-0565.
