Recall 11V-083: 2007 Trial Boss Bloomer, 2006 Trial Boss Sooner
TRAIL BOSS CONVERSIONS, INC. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Jan 26, 2011, covering about 2 vehicles.
The problem
Trail boss is recalling two horse trailers, model year 2006 sooner and 2007 bloomer models, equipped with a 1200-series norcold refrigerator. 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.
The fix
Trail boss 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 additional information. The recall is expected to begin during february 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
