Recall 10V609000: 2008 Custom Campers LS, 2005–2011 NU WA Champagne Edition, 2008–2011 NU WA Discover America +1 more

The problem

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.

The risk

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.

The fix

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.
