Defect
Techworks is recalling one model year 2000 overland ospry recreational vehicle equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Safety risk
An insufficient response time can result in power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
Remedy
Techworks is working with norcold to get the units repaired free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049. The safety recall is expected to begin during october 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
