Defect SummaryOn certain motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200lr and 1200rim, these refrigerators can experience low cycle fatigue failure which can lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.
Consequence SummaryIf a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Corrective SummaryNorcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge. 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 norcold service center at 1-800-667-3005 or monaco at 574-862-7211.

 I own a 1998 holiday rambler, class a motorhome, purchased new, built on a chevrolet chassis. on a recent trip i experienced brake failure while traveling. his could have resulted in a catastrophic situation, but fortunately did not. according to the mechanic who repaired the vehicle, the brake fluid overheated. i believe that the placement of the brake fluid resevoir helped contribute to the failure. on this vehicle the resevoir is inboard of the driver-side front wheel, between the chassis and the engine, where heat from the engine can affect it.*ak
