Has your Western 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 Western dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Equipment › Recreational vehicle/trailer

Summary
Certain motor homes, truck campers, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, 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
Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Remedy
Western RV will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06E076). 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 you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or western RV at 1-866-567-4133.

Summary
On certain recreational vehicles equipped with vansco vmm 2820 modules, the module may experience a failure of all operational function.
