What's wrong?
The refrigerator in the 2000 Overland Ospry is a Norcold 1200-series unit, the appliance that keeps food cold while the recreational vehicle is parked or on the road. It includes a high-temperature shutoff system, either a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch, that is supposed to cut power when heat rises too far. That shutoff is the safeguard meant to stop an overheated refrigerator from becoming a fire source.
In NHTSA campaign 11V484, the problem is the speed of that safeguard. The sensor algorithm or thermal switch does not respond fast enough to stop power when high temperatures are detected. If heat builds inside the refrigerator area and power stays on too long, the overheating condition raises the fire risk described in the recall.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not wait for a smell, sound, or dashboard alert to prove the refrigerator shutoff has failed.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
An insufficient response time can leave power on too long during a fault, allowing a fire to start and leading to personal injury, vehicle damage, or property damage. Until the repair is available, stop using the affected equipment if it shows a power fault and contact an Overland dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Overland dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2000 Overland Ospry is included in this recall.
- Contact Overland or Norcold customer service at 1-800-767-9101 for repair status, since the source filing does not list the remedy as available.
- Ask about the free repair for the Norcold 1200-series refrigerator, which addresses slow shutoff response that can allow a fire.
- Stop using the refrigerator until Overland or Norcold confirms the repair is complete.
- Reference recall number 11V484 when you call, and bring the owner notice if you still have it.
What happens at the repair
The remedy filed for campaign 11V484 said Techworks was working with Norcold to repair the affected 1200-series refrigerator units free of charge. The exact repair steps are not described in the filing. At the dealer, an Overland technician should confirm the refrigerator campaign applies, then coordinate the Norcold repair so the high-temperature shutoff protection is addressed. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.
