2000–2003 Coachmen Coachmen recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain recreational vehicles built with dometic two-door refrigerators, a fatigue crack may develop in the boiler tube in the area of the weld between the boiler tube and the heater pocket. A fatigue crack may release a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source is present.
💥 The risk
The release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Coachmen is working with dometic to have these refrigerators repaired. The manufacturer has not yet submitted an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Coachmen at 1-574-825-5821 or dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157.
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.)
