	Our 2003 coleman caravan rv almost burned up on october 31, 2010 because of the refrigerator. i heard a sizzling sound and took back off refrigerator, it was very hot. i turned the gas off and unhooked battery. i contacted domectic to let them know that the recall did not fix ours and was told it was up to me to fix that there was nothing more they would do. thank god i checked our camper or it probably would have burnt up.
