- The problem
- Gulf stream is recalling 26,847 my 2003-2006 recreational vehicles 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.
- The risk
- If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
- The fix
- Gulf stream is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. 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 gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.

Dometic refrigerator recall has been going on for about a year or so and everytime I receive a notice ( three 3 so far) the model no's. And/or the serial no's. Change. At this point I'm no sure if my unit is affected or not. So I went on www.Dometicusa.Com to address my concerns about if my unit was affected or not and there was no click-on for recall. The notice I received in the mail instructed me to this site but there is place to obtain info about this recall. I thought you should know about this situation. Thanks, paul *tr
