2001 Foretravel U320 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Foretravel is recalling 3 my 1998-1999 and 2001 U320 coaches 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.
💥 The risk
Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.
🔧 The fix
Foretravel is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators. Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. The recall is expected to begin during july 2008. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or foretravel at 1-936-564-8367.
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.)
