TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 KEYSTONE COUGAR FIFTH WHEEL EQUIPPED WITH A DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REFRIGERATOR CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED INDEPENDENTLY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. A TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE REFRIGERATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 08V325000 (EQUIPMENT) AND 08E032000 (EQUIPMENT). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S REFUSAL. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
I HAVE A 2004 KEYSTONE TRAVEL TRAILER. THE REFRIGERATOR HAS A RECALL FROM DOMETIC. THE RECALL IS TO PREVENT FIRES IF THE REFRIGERATOR LEAKS FLAMMABLE COOLANT INTO THE PROPANE FLAME.
