2000–2001 Glendale Golden Falcon recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Glendale rv is recalling 137 my 1999-2001 Golden Falcon fifth wheel travel trailers 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
Glendale rv is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators (please see 08E030). Norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767- 9101 or glendale rv at 1-519-245-1600.
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.)
