2000 Blue Bird Wanderlodge recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200LR and 1200RIM with serial numbers between 700000 and 1008700 and manufactured between december 1996 and february 1999. These refrigerators CAN experience low cycle fatigue failure which CAN lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.

💥 The risk

If a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and CAN be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.

🔧 The fix

Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge. Owner notification began november 11, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact norcold service center at 1-800-667-3005.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
