Recall Summary:
Coachmen is recalling 932 model year (my) 1999-2003 georgie boy cruise master, my 2000-2002 maverick and pursuit, my 2000 & 2002 cruise air and my 2001-2002 suite motorhomes equipped with norcold model 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from March 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. 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 cooling unit could rupture.
How to Fix:
Coachmen is working with norcold and norcold will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge (please see 09e-027). Owners may contact norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.
