- 10V609000 on 12/07/2010
- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Affected:
- 292
- Defect:
- Nu wa 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.

- Correction:
- Nu wa 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 safety recall began on january 2011. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or nu wa industries at 800-835-0676.
