- The problem
- Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in certain tubing in the refrigerator which could allow pressurized flammable coolant solution to be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
- The risk
- THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
- The fix
- Keystone rv will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076).
