The problem
New horizons is recalling one model year 2005 fifth wheel trailer equipped with a 1200-series norcold refrigerator. The refrigerator 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
New horizons is working with norcold to identify and notify the affected owner. The owner will be instructed to contact a norcold dealer to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on march . Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
