The hazard

Certain travel trailers and motorhomes equipped with a Norcold gas/electric refrigerator model # 442, 443, 452, EV452, 453, 462, EV462, 463, EV463, 482, EV482, 483, EV483, 874 and 875 manufactured between January 1987 and May 1995 may have a propane leak from the gas valve. As the rubber seal within the gas valve ages, a leak may occur, allowing propane gas to accumulate in the burner area. As the refrigerator relighter attempts to light the burner, this accumulated gas can cause a fire. Correction: Dealer will replace the gas valve.
