1997 Georgie Boy Cruise Master

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.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A WEEKEND ON A LAKE WE HAD A FLAT TIRE, INSIDE LEFT REAR, DUE TO THE FLAT THE DAMAGED TIRE CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE WIRING LOOM WHICH IS RAN IN THE WHEEL OF THE MOTOHOME. THE TIRE THEN BEGAN SPOOLING THE WIRE LOOM BETWEEN THE TWO REAR DUEL TIRES , LIKE A FISHING REAL, CAUSING OVER $7K OF DAMAGE TO THE UNIT. IT NOT ONLY DAMAGED THE WIRING AND PLUMBING, BUT DESTROYED THE FURNACE THAT IS FEED BY PROPANE. THE UNIT IS BEING REPAIRED BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THE MFG., I WAS TOLD IT MET GOV. STANDARDS AT THE TIME OF BEING PUT TOGETHER. OF COURSE ALL THE WIRES HAS BEEN CUT OUT,THE BODY SHOP AT THIS TIME STILL HAS THE FURNACE. *JB
