- The problem
- Highland Ridge RV (Highland Ridge) is recalling certain 2010 Open Range, Residential and Rolling Thunder fifth wheels and 2010 Journeyer and Roamer recreational trailers.

Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Open range is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 open range, residential and rolling thunder recreational vehicles 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.
- The risk
- An insufficient response time can result in power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
- The fix
- Open range is working with norcold to get the units repaired free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049. The safety recall began on march 2, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
