MID NOVEMBER 2008 THE REFRIGERATOR IN MY COACHMAN CAMPER TRAILER QUIT WORKING. I DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLANT LIQUID HAD LEAKED OUT. I HAD NOT YET GOTTEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS WHEN I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM DOMETIC ON JAN 2, 2009 FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THIS WAS MY FIRST NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH AFTER CALLING DOMETIC , I DISCOVERED THAT THEY HAD BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS. UPON CONTACTING DOMETIC I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE HEAT SHIELD ONLY AFTER I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. HOW CAN THEY TAKE THE POSITION THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT THE DEFECT AND BREAKDOWN OF THE EQUIPMENT IS ENTI
