What's wrong?
The 1200-series Norcold refrigerator in the 2007 T & E 56 Semi-Trailer is an RV refrigerator that keeps food cold while the trailer is parked or being used. It includes a sensing algorithm or thermal switch that watches for high temperature and is supposed to shut off power to the refrigerator before overheating creates a fire risk.
In this recall, the shutoff protection does not react fast enough. When the refrigerator gets too hot, the sensor algorithm or thermal switch delays cutting power, so heat continues to build inside the refrigerator area. That defeats the safeguard that is meant to stop an overheating refrigerator from turning into a fire.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not count on a smell, sound, or visible change to tell you the refrigerator protection has failed.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the refrigerator develops a hydrogen gas leak and temperatures rise, the sensing algorithm or thermal switch can fail to cut power quickly enough to prevent a fire. Treat refrigerator heat, odor, or unusual operation as a reason to stop using it and call the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised T & E dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2007 T & E 56 Semi-Trailer is included in this recall.

- Reference recall number 11V075 when you call about the Norcold 1200-series refrigerator shutoff remedy tied to fire risk.
- Keep the refrigerator turned off until T & E or Norcold confirms the remedy path for your trailer.
- Bring the owner notice if you received one, and confirm that the refrigerator remedy is free before work begins.
What happens at the repair
T & E is working with Norcold to identify the affected 2007 56 Semi-Trailer owner and send instructions. Because the owner notification schedule is not provided, treat the final dealer remedy as not yet open. Once it is available, the owner will be directed to a Norcold dealer for the refrigerator remedy, free of charge. The source does not give a repair time estimate.
