1997 GEORGIE BOY ENCOUNTER Recall

Campaign:

02V277004 on 11/19/2002

Component:

Equipment:recreational vehicle

Manufactured:

11/30/1996 - 03/30/1999

Affected:

38

Defect:

Certain motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200lr and 1200rim with serial numbers between 700000 and 1008700 and manufactured between december 1996 and february 1999. 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:

If 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.

Correction:

Norcold 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.

Notes:

Also, customers cancontact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
