- Campaign:
- 10V584000 on 11/21/2010
- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Affected:
- 1,328
- Defect:
- Gulf stream is recalling certain recreational vehicles and 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.
