2005 NU WA Champagne Edition recalls

Recall 10V-609: Equipment

Reported Dec 1, 2010 · 292 vehicles affected · NU WA INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: Nu wa is recalling certain fifth wheel 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.

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.

Fix: Nu wa 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 safety recall began on january 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or nu wa industries at 800-835-0676.

Recall 08V-359: Equipment

Reported Jul 21, 2008 · 4,370 vehicles affected · NU WA INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: Nu wa is recalling certain my 2004-2007 recreational vehicles 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.

Risk: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.

Fix: Nu wa 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. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or nu wa at 1-620-431-2088.

Reported Nov 30, 2006 · 1,502 vehicles affected · NU WA INDUSTRIES INC.

Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with a demco glide ride pin box, the welds on the pin box can break.

Recall 06V-314: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Aug 22, 2006 · 6 vehicles affected · NU WA INDUSTRIES INC.

Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter axles, the disc brake caliper mounting bolts may strip. Insufficient clamp load between caliper and yoke can cause the caliper to disassemble and adversely affect the trailer's braking system.

Risk: Loss of braking can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dexter will repair these vehicles (Please see 06e029). A new larger caliper mounting nut will be installed. For more information you may contact dexter axle at 1-800-400-2164 or nuwa at 620-431-2088.
