Recall 07V-417: Equipment

Reported Sep 5, 2007 · 2,345 vehicles affected · REXHALL INDUSTRIES INC

Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation, the refrigerator may have a defect in the refrigerator boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (Gas flame) is present.

Risk: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.

Fix: Rexhall will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 06e076). 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. The recall is expected to begin on or before july 4, 2008. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or rexhall at 1-661-726-0565.

Reported Apr 15, 2003 · 1,842 vehicles affected · REXHALL INDUSTRIES

Problem: Certain motor home chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the brake system warning indicator may not function as required by standard.

Risk: In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the brake system warning indicator.

Fix: Dealers will repair the brake warning lamp circuit. Owner notification is expected to begin july 1, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact rexhall at 1-800-444-9720.

We have contacted rexhall who referred us to spartan. We have taken it to spartan recommended shops but no one can find the problem. This past year we put a higher grade brake fluid in but that didn't help. Our brake system is air over hydraulics, no…
