Summary
New horizons is recalling one model year 2005 fifth wheel trailer equipped with a 1200-series norcold refrigerator. The refrigerator being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Consequence
The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Remedy
New horizons is working with norcold to identify and notify the affected owner. The owner will be instructed to contact a norcold dealer to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10E-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on March. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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 New Horizons 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 New Horizons dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
