- The problem
- On certain motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation, the refrigerator may have a defect in the refrigerator 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
- Rexhall 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. The recall is expected to begin on or before july 4, 2008. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or rexhall at 1-661-726-0565.

2000 Rexhall Aerbus recalls 2
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
- Certain motor home chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "Hydraulic and electric brake systems." The brake system warning indicator may not function as required by standard.
- The risk
- In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the brake system warning indicator.
- The fix
- Dealers will repair the brake warning lamp circuit. Owner notification is expected to begin july 1, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact rexhall at 1-800-444-9720.

A square tubing welded between the frame rails above the rear end. The brake line goes up and over the rear housing. Appears that the housing came down and pinched the exposed brake line. Ford motor company could have authorized the nominal payment of the necessary repairs without assuming any liability for the faulty structural engineering. *Scc
