What NHTSA recorded

Showtime is recalling 4 my 2000 53' classic car trailers and my 2001 30' motor homes 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.

Remedy

Showtime is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e030). Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767- 9101 or showtime conversions at 1-574-825-1130.
