Jayco Legacy Fifth Wheel Trailer: Other

Affects Jayco Legacy Fifth Wheel Trailer · 2002–2004 — about 12 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with a Norcold Inc. refrigerator, a fatigue crack in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited. This could result in a fire, causing property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealers will retrofit the cooling unit with a thermal switch kit.
