    Electrical System / Wiring

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

See the above list for the models affected. The wiring within the raceway may not be properly secured leading to wear and potential heat development between the exposed wiring and heated refrigerator coils.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This condition could lead to failure of the 110 volt electrical wiring routed to the microwave cabinet, increasing the risk of fire, personal injury, or property damage.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

  2. 10V584000Received . 1,328 units.

    Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Gulf stream is recalling certain recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Gulf stream is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began on march 23, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.

  3. 09V382000Received . 242 units.

    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Gulf stream is recalling certain motorhomes equipped with norcold model 1200lr, 1200lrim, and 1201lrim refrigerators with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased the heat source could generate very high temperatures. At such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If a leak occurs and the unit continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Gulf stream is working with norcold and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge. Please also see norcold's defect notice 09e-027. The safety recall began on october 20, 2009. Owners may contact gulf stream at 1-800-289-8787 or norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.
