Defect

Safety risk
The consequence can result in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Remedy
Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement gas valve 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 or dodgen born free at 1-800-247-1835.
