Campaign:
09V279000 on 07/16/2009
Component:
Equipment
Manufactured:
01/01/2002 - 01/13/2002
Affected:
3
Defect:
Showtime conversions is recalling 3 my 2001 and 2002 showhauler motorhomes equipped with norcold model 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from march 1, 2001 to december 31, 2002, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. a fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. if a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased the heat source could generate very high temperatures. at such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.
Consequence:
If a leak occurs and the unit is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Correction:
Showtime will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge. the safety recall began on august 3, 2009. owners may contact showtime conversions at 1-574-825-1130 or norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .

Campaign:
10V569000 on 11/16/2010
Component:
Equipment:recreational vehicle
Manufactured:
01/13/2002 - 01/13/2002
Affected:
10
Defect:
Showtime conversions is recalling certain model year 2001, 2002, and 2004 showhauler recreational vehicles; 1999 and 2000 classic car trailers; 2006 wildside recreational vehicles; and 2007 showtime horse 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.
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:
Showtime 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 more information. the safety recall began on december 6, 2010. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or showtime conversions at 1-574-534-8340.
