What NHTSA recorded

New horizon is recalling certain fifth wheel and travel trailers 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.

Possible consequence

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

Remedy

New horizon is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032).
