2000–2003 Kes Auction Topper recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain truck camper, and horse trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation, these refrigerators may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.

💥 The risk

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

🔧 The fix

Kes will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06E076).

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 kes at 1-800-433-4159.
