- Summary
- On certain recreational vehicles built with dometic two-door refrigerators, a fatigue crack may develop in the boiler tube in the area of the weld between the boiler tube and the heater pocket. A fatigue crack may release a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source is present.
- Consequence
- The release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Coachmen is working with dometic to have these refrigerators repaired. The manufacturer has not yet submitted an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-574-825-5821 or dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157.

Vehicles covered
As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.
Has your Coachmen been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Coachmen dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
