2000–2002 Blue Bird Wanderlodge recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Blue bird is recalling 162 my 1999-2002 Wanderlodge motor homes equipped with norcold model 1200LR or 1200LRIM gas/electric 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
Blue bird 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 began on july 11, 2008. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or blue bird at 1-478-825-2021.
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.)
