Norcold refrigerators recalled for spontaneously catching fire

(May 30, 2016) — We’ve told you about this before, but this is so important it’s worth another reminder. Many RV refrigerators manufactured by Norcold between Jan 1, 2002 and Oct. 1, 2012 have spontaneously caught fire with often devastating results. An attorney for a one-billion dollar class action suit filed by Norcold refrigerator owners estimated in 2015 that three to five of the units were catching fire every week.

Here is a short video by RV fire expert Mac McCoy explaining the situation and why you must get your Norcold refrigerator into the shop for a free fix to avoid a potential catastrophe. A link at the end of the video explains where to go for specific recall information, including whether your Norcold refrigerator is involved.
