Prevost Le Mirage XL 2 Motor Coaches Recalled for Refrigerator Fire Risk

Plain-English summary

Geomarc, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007 Prevost Le Mirage XL 2 motor coaches equipped with 1200-AC Series Norcold refrigerators. The recall addresses a defect in the refrigerators' safety systems, which are designed to shut off power when high temperatures are detected to prevent potential fires.

The source text states that the response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices used to stop power are not sufficient. Consequently, these devices may not shut off the refrigerator in sufficient time to prevent a fire if a hydrogen gas leak causes high temperatures.

Geomarc is working with Norcold to identify and notify affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact Norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. The safety recall began on February 18, 2011. Owners may contact Geomarc at 1-256-272-0441 or Norcold at 1-256-355-2090 for additional information.
