1 complaints about the 2003 NU WA Premier
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
1. Dometic corporation, manufacturer of refrigerators for recreational vehicles, has issued a repair recall of a large number of their refrigerator units. 2. The refrigerator in my recreation vehicle has experienced the exact same problem as those units being recalled, but dometic will not discuss the malfunction with me because the model and serial number of my unit is not included in their recall (model rm 3862, serial number 14505122) 3. My refrigerator was damaged to the point where it had to be replaced. I believe dometic should reimburse me for the replacement. *Jb
