What NHTSA recorded

Peterson is recalling 5 my 2001 classic and my 2001-2002 excel limited edition fifth wheel travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerators. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak.

Possible consequence

Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.
