TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NATIONAL RV SEA VIEW. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTHS AGO. HE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SHUT OFF THE REFRIGERATOR UNIT TO KEEP IT FROM CATCHING FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY INSTALLED A HEAT SHIELD. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE UNIT WAS NOT COOLING PROPERLY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED HIM TO CALL DOMETIC FOR THE REPLACEMENT UNIT. AS OF AUGUST 6, 2007, THE CONTACT HAS NOT PURCHASED A NEW REFRIGERATOR UNIT. NO OTHER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,391. UPDATED 12-15-08 *BF THE REFRIGERATOR WAS NOT CHECKED BEFORE OR AFTER THE HEAT SHIELD WAS INSTALLED. SO WHEN THE CONSUMER STARTED THE REFRIGERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MARCH IT WAS NOT COOLING PROPERLY AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF AMMONIA. DOMETIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THEY WOULD ONLY COVER INSTALLING THE HEAT SHIELD TO PREVENT THE TUBING FROM RUPTURING, HOWEVER THE TUBING HAD ALREADY RUPTURED WHILE THE RV WAS IN STORAGE. THE HEAT SHIELD WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THE RUPTURING. UPDATED 12/17/08. *JB
