2010-2011 Entegra RV Recall 10V650: Fridge Fire

Recall 10V650 covers 36 2010-2011 Entegra Aspire, Insignia, and Anthem trailers for refrigerator shutoff delays that raise fire risk. Remedy is free through Norcold dealers.

Entegra is recalling 36 2010-2011 Aspire, Insignia, and Anthem fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series Norcold refrigerators because the shutoff sensor or thermal switch does not cut power fast enough during high-temperature conditions. A hydrogen gas leak can lead to a refrigerator fire, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The refrigerator in these 2010-2011 Entegra Aspire, Insignia, and Anthem fifth wheel trailers is a 1200-series Norcold RV refrigerator. It is built with a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch that monitors heat and shuts off power when temperatures climb too high. That shutoff is meant to stop the refrigerator before heat turns into a fire risk.

In the recalled units, the protection device does not react fast enough. The algorithm or switch still detects high temperature, but its response time is not sufficient to stop power soon enough. That delay leaves the refrigerator powered during an overheating event, which defeats the safety function the device is supposed to provide.

There is no warning sign before failure. The defect is inside the refrigerator's heat protection system, so an owner cannot confirm the shutoff protection is working by normal use alone.

Who's affected?

Spans the Aspire, Insignia, and Anthem lines across the 2010 and 2011 model years, all tied to the recreational vehicle/trailer equipment component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific motorhome.

What's the safety risk?

The refrigerator safety control can fail to shut off power fast enough when high temperatures occur from a hydrogen gas leak. That failure leaves heat and fuel in place and increases fire risk. Schedule the recall work with the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Entegra dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 Entegra Aspire, Insignia, or Anthem is included in this recall.
  2. Confirm whether Entegra has remedy instructions tied to your VIN before using the refrigerator.
  3. Contact a franchised Entegra dealer or Norcold dealer for the free 1200-series Norcold refrigerator remedy that improves shutoff protection when high temperatures are detected.
  4. Reference recall number 10V650 when you call the dealer.
  5. Keep the refrigerator off until the recall remedy is complete.

What happens at the repair

Entegra and Norcold identified and notified affected owners for this refrigerator recall. The recall record directs owners to a Norcold dealer for the remedy on the 1200-series refrigerator, free of charge. The filing does not describe the exact parts replaced or adjusted, so the service desk should confirm the refrigerator remedy tied to NHTSA campaign 10V650 before work begins. If the remedy still needs to be completed on your 2010-2011 Entegra Aspire, Insignia, or Anthem, the dealer repair is free once available through the recall process.
