- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Manufactured:
- 11/30/1996 - 10/05/2010
- Affected:
- 264
- Defect:
- Open range is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 open range, residential and rolling thunder 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:
- An insufficient response time can result in power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
- Correction:
- Open range is working with norcold to get the units repaired free of charge. please see norcold's defect report 10e-049. the safety recall began on march 2, 2011. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
