Recall 10V-569: 1999–2000 Showtime Classic, 2007 Showtime Horse Trailer and 2 more
SHOWTIME CONVERSIONS recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Nov 17, 2010, covering about 10 vehicles.
The problem
Showtime conversions is recalling certain model year 2001, 2002, and 2004 showhauler recreational vehicles; 1999 and 2000 classic car trailers; 2006 wildside recreational vehicles; and 2007 showtime horse trailers, equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
The risk
The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.

Showtime is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for more information. The safety recall began on december 6, 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or showtime conversions at 1-574-534-8340.
