Norcold 1200 Series Fridge Recall
Had a hard time finding it at first.
With Norcold agreeing to settle, wonder what will happen with Dometic and the suit against them.
Michelle, don't forget to fill out the form. Your RL would've been in the suit. I know there is a payout listed for former owners.
Already did that. Only problem we ever had with an RV fridge in 25 years was with our 91 Prowler when it sprung a leak after 12 years. Our local dealer installed a slightly larger unit with upgraded features for just a little more than a replacement cooling unit.
But we really LOVE the residential fridge in our MB.
Our 2011 built Norcold N800 is on the settlement list. But it was not on the recall list. Had it checked by dealer just in case and it does not need an added HTCO installed.
Our coach is currently at the dealer and as it was manufactured Nov 2012, our fridge is also included. I have requested they action the recall.
Andy - the recall is one thing and the settlement is another. Don't overlook filling out a claim form on line to get some (probably minor) part of the settlement of the $36 million (those are big American $!). Maybe enuff for a growler or two. :silly:
Thanks Terry,
Affirmative, once I can get the Serial number I'll be submitting the claim. I pick up the coach on June 7th, so it will be submitted that evening.
This will be one time the $1.30 exchange is to our advantage.
Just got our settlement check from the class action lawsuit for $45.78. Enough to buy a case of beer in Canada!;)
Correction: First of four annual payments and three year extended warranty included.I was so excited I didn't read all the boiler plate.
Got mine yesterday

I don't know about a case of beer, but you might get a couple 6 packs if you kick in a couple more bucks. Think the fuel up there is cheaper than beer.
About the Norcold, did you have to sign up for settlement or was it voluntarily sent by Norcold, this is the first I've heard of the suit.
