⚠️ What's wrong

Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.

Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or Marathon homes at 1-574-294-6441.
