- The problem
- Skyline is recalling 22,372 my 2004-2007 alliance, aljo, celebrity, century, freestyle, layton, nomad, rampage, seaview, trailrider, and weekender fifth wheel and travel 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
- If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
- The fix
- Skyline is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). 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 skyline at 1-574-294-6521.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
We received a notice in the mail about our refrigerator that would over time get a crack and the fumes are flammable so we need to get it fixed immediately. We are scheduled to get it done next week but we think with their apology they should also pay for our gas to get to the service department that we go to. We have to travel approximately 200 miles round trip so the trip is quite expensive when you have to haul our 29 foot travel trailer. We only average about 6-7mpg when we pull it. Thank you and hope that they will pay for gas. *Tr
