Consequence:
Should the spring hanger fasteners fail, the axle may disconnect from the frame, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and, potentially, a crash.
Correction:
An authorized freightliner dealer will inspect and replace the spring hanger fasteners. the recall is expected to begin during october 2005. owners may contact haulmark at 866-760-8195 to locate the closest freightliner dealer to make arrangements to have their vehicle inspected.

Component:
Equipment:recreational vehicle
Manufactured:
12/31/2002 - 10/05/2010
Affected:
668
Defect:
Haulmark is recalling certain recreational vehicles 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:
The 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.
Correction:
