FLEETWOOD FOLDING TRAILER, INC. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Jul 30, 2008, covering about 1,394 vehicles.
The problem
Fleetwood folding is recalling 1,394 my 2004 caravan, micro-lite and my 2005 resort travel trailers 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.
The risk
If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
The fix
Fleetwood folding 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.
