2011 Open Range Rolling Thunder recalls

Recall 10V-524: Equipment

Reported Oct 25, 2010 · 264 vehicles affected · OPEN RANGE R.V. COMPANY

Problem: Open range is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 open range, residential and rolling thunder recreational vehicles 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: An insufficient response time can result in power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.

Fix: Open range is working with norcold to get the units repaired free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049. The safety recall began on march 2, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
