Issue
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.
