Defect

Super vacuum is recalling 3 my 2003 international th, my 2004 spartan metro star lfd, and my 2007 spartan diamond flfd fire trucks equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.

Safety risk

If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.

Remedy

Super vacuum is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or super vacuum at 1-970-667-5146.
