Defect SummaryPeterson 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.
Consequence SummaryThe 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.
Corrective SummaryPeterson 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 manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or peterson at 785-282-6825.

Defect SummaryPeterson is recalling 5 my 2001 classic and my 2001-2002 excel limited edition fifth wheel travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerators. a fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak.
Consequence SummaryExtended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.
Corrective SummaryPeterson is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e030). norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767- 9101 or peterson at 1-785-282-6825.
