What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Last october I was towing my rv home from the last camp outing for the season using my dometic refrigerator on lp gas not knowing about the recall on this unit. During this trip home at some point lp gas run out of gas. Lucky for my family & I because the refrigerator unit failed.
Coolant leaked out and the contact smelled ammonia. Dometic stated that they were not responsible. The recall number was unknown. No other vehicle information was available.
Upon inspection, the contact noticed a coolant leak and was informed to bring the refrigerator in for service. The mechanic at the service center stated that the repair could not be performed due to fractures in the coolant line. The coolant line would have to be replaced prior to any repairs being made.
Consumer complained about having problems with mold growing underneath because the seals on the vehicle were not correctly sealed.
