Norcold 1201Lrim – 09E027000

Vehicle recall defect – Norcold Is Recalling Certain Refrigerators, Models 1200Lr, 1200Lrim, And 1201Lrim, Manufactured From March 1, 2001 To December 31, 2002, With Serial Numbers Between 1273701 And 1536607, Non-Consecutively. The Units Were Installed As Original Equipment In Various Recreational Vehicles. 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 Temperaturesthe Cooling Unit Could Rupture.


Norcold 1201Lrim – 08E030000

Vehicle recall defect – Norcold Is Recalling Certain Refrigerators, Models 1200Lr, 1200Lrim, And 1201Lrim, Manufactured From March 1, 1999 To February 28, 2001, With Cooling Units Serial Numbers Between 1008701 And 1273700. The Units Were Installed As Original Equipment In Various Recreational Vehicles. 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 Steel Material Of The Cooling Unit Could Soften And Rupture. Norcold Is Working To Identify The Number Of Refrigerators That Were Manufactured With This Condition.
