⚠️ What's wrong

Damon is recalling 4,677 my 2004-2006 Challenger, Daybreak, Intruder, my 2004-2005 Escaper, Ultrasport, and my 2005 Astoria and Astoria Waldorf motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator 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.

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 damon at
