Summary: Host industries is recalling 546 my 2004-2007 bachelor(8.5'), mckinley (8.5'), rainier (9.5'), tahoe (10.5'), yukon (11.5'), yellowstone (11.5') campers, and my 2007 model 270 class c motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Consequence: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
Remedy: Host industries is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08E032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle Inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments.

Has your Host Campers 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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Host Campers dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
