On certain vehicles equipped with a Norcold refrigerator, a fatigue crack in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs, and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can ignite. This could result in a fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will retrofit the cooling unit with a thermal switch kit.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2010001.
