The problem
Sport trailers is recalling 4 my 1997 rm2652, my 1999 rm 2652, my 2000 rm 3863 and my 2002 rm 2852 recreational trailers 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
Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
The fix
Sport trailers will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076). 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 sport trailers at 1-909-888-5003.
