The problem
Gulf stream is recalling 413 my 1999-2002 sun voyager, scenic cruise, friendship, and tour master 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
Gulf stream is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e030). 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 for this campaign. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767- 9101 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.
