Defect. CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH NORCOLD REFRIGERATOR COOLING UNITS MODEL NUMBERS 1200LR AND 1200RIM WITH SERIAL NUMBERS BETWEEN 700000 AND 1008700 AND MANUFACTURED BETWEEN DECEMBER 1996 AND FEBRUARY 1999. THESE REFRIGERATORS CAN EXPERIENCE LOW CYCLE FATIGUE FAILURE WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE LIQUID SOLUTION SLOWLY LEAKING FROM THE SEALED, PRESSURIZED COOLING UNIT THROUGH A SMALL CRACK.

Risk. IF A LEAK OCCURS AND THE UNIT IS CONTINUALLY OPERATED, HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE EXPELLED AND CAN BE IGNITED, RESULTING IN A FIRE, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy. NORCOLD WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT COOLING UNIT FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT NORCOLD SERVICE CENTER AT 1-800-667-3005.

FORD ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL IN OCTOBER OF 2007 NUMBER 05S28 AS REQUIRED BY THE NHTSA. TO THIS DATE THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED SUFFICIENT REPAIR PARTS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THEY CAUTION THAT YOU SHOULD NOT PARK THE VEHICLE NEAR HOME OR OTHER STRUCTURES. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO HAVE THE DEFICIENT PART DISCONNECTED UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IS THIS ACTIVITY CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA GOALS ON SAFETY RECALLS? THEIR FIX SEEMS TO BE THAT CONSUMER TO BE SAFE SHOULD NOT USE THE PRODUCT THEY HAVE PAID FOR. CAN NHTSA FORCE FORD TO COMPLY WITH THE INTENT AND SPIRIT OF SAFETY RECALLS? *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
