2000–2002 Carriage Carriage LS & 2001–2002 Carriage Carri-Lite + 2 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Carriage is recalling 187 my 2001-2002 carrri-lite, my 1999-2001 Carriage, my 2000-2002 Carriage LS and my 1999-2001 Royals recreational vehicles 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
Carriage is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators. Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or Carriage at 574-642-3622.
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.)
