Thanks for the heads up. I finally got around to checking ours today and sure enough, it made the list this time. Will have to call this week and make arrangements to get ours fixed also.

Ours in on the list and was made during the time period. I've no clue to when I can get it to a Dometic repair site, but a detailed inspection of the refrigerator shows no signs problems, so I'm not gonna panic as this is all about "a fractional percentage of the potentially affected refrigerators."
"The total population of these refrigerators potentially containing the defect is 745,574. Dometic estimates that as many as 0.005% may develop weld or boiler fatigue cracks which may result in a fire."
By my math .005% of 745,574 is 37.2 (thirty seven point two) refrigerators. Yeah, I'll have it checked and the fix installed, but I'm not losing sleep over this until then. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink")
Checked my neighbors while I was out there, but his Jayco has a Norcold.

We have an appt to have it done the morning of Jun 12....the same day we leave for our next trip. They just said to bring it in at 8:30a and it would take 30 min. We just need to make sure we have our fridge info to prove that it's one of the recalls so that the company fixing our RV can get it's $$ from Dometic.

I agree with Chuck in principal as it relates to math. My fridge has been on 24/7 for 18 months since I purchased the ROO in 2006.
Life goes on.
I have two authorized repair shops within 10 minutes. Just a matter of getting it done.

Hey Robocop!! Haven't seen posts from you ...but, then again...I've not been plastered to the forum, either. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
Mine is also affected. Like Chuck and Robocop says...I'll also get to it. Sooner than later. But still...not going to lose sleep over it.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either (thanks to insurance), BUT somebody has to have those 37.2 fridges! Like you all said - sooner than later is better, don't procrastinate on this issue too long! You and your loved ones sleep in there!
