Recall 10V584 covers 1,328 1997-2010 Gulf Stream RVs and fifth-wheel trailers with Norcold refrigerator shutoff delays. Free remedy through Norcold dealers.

Gulf Stream is recalling 1,328 1997-2010 recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers, including Canyon Trail, Friendship, and Sun Voyager models, equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators. The refrigerator shutoff sensor or thermal switch does not stop power fast enough during high-temperature conditions from a hydrogen gas leak, which raises fire risk; the Gulf Stream dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The recalled part is the 1200-series Norcold refrigerator installed in certain 1997-2010 Gulf Stream recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers. The refrigerator cools the coach food-storage compartment, but it also has a heat-sensing safety system. That system is supposed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected.

On affected Gulf Stream units, the safety cutoff does not react fast enough. The refrigerator has either a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch, and the response time for stopping power is not sufficient. If high heat develops, power can remain on longer than intended, which defeats the protection meant to prevent a potential fire.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on normal refrigerator operation, normal cooling, or the absence of an alarm as proof that the safety cutoff is responding correctly.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.

What's the safety risk?

A refrigerator shutoff system that reacts too slowly during overheating from a hydrogen gas leak increases fire risk. Treat refrigerator heat, odor, or unusual operation as a reason to stop using the appliance and contact the dealer before using it again. Repair will be free at any franchised Gulf Stream dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 1997-2010 Gulf Stream recreational vehicle or fifth wheel trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Review any Gulf Stream or Norcold owner notice mailed after March 23, 2011.
  3. Contact Gulf Stream or Norcold before service so they can confirm the free Norcold 1200-series refrigerator remedy for the heat shutoff system.
  4. Reference recall number 10V584 when you call or schedule service.
  5. Avoid using the refrigerator until Gulf Stream or Norcold confirms the remedy is complete.

Recall 10V584 covers 1,328 1997-2010 Gulf Stream recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators. The refrigerator shutoff system can fail to cut power quickly enough after high temperatures from a hydrogen gas leak, increasing fire risk.

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 10V584. If it is, contact a Norcold dealer for the free refrigerator remedy. Reference recall 10V584 when you call, and use Norcold's phone number, 1-800-767-9101, for help finding service.
