The issue
On certain motorhomes, conventional travel trailers and fifth wheel travel trailers equipped with a Dometic Corporation refrigerator, a fatigue crack can develop in the boiler tube. This could allow the release of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source is present, which could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the refrigerator's boiler tube assembly.
Description (français)
Sur certaines autocaravanes, caravanes classiques et caravanes à sellette équipées d'un réfrigérateur Dometic Corporation, une fissure de fatigue peut se développer dans le tube de l'évaporateur. Cela pourrait permettre le déversement d'une solution de liquide de refroidissement sous pression dans une zone où une source d'inflammation est présente, ce qui pourrait causer un incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le tube de l'évaporateur du réfrigérateur.
