The problem

Wells cargo is recalling 1 my 2004 bumper pull utility trailer 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.

Wells cargo will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076).
