Nov 17, 2009 · NHTSA campaign 09V443000 · 528 vehicles

Problem: Tiffin is recalling certain recreational vehicle equipped with norcold model 1200LR and 1200LRIM refrigerators, manufactured from December 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased the heat source could generate very high temperatures. At such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.
