What's wrong?
The refrigerator in the 2023 Grand Design Solitude is a two-way RV refrigerator that runs on electric power or LP propane. Its cooling unit sits behind the refrigerator and has to stay tightly attached so the cabinet, cooling assembly, and propane line move as one secured unit while the fifth wheel is in use.
In NHTSA campaign 24V378, the problem is loose or missing fasteners at the refrigerator cooling unit attachment points. With those screws loose or absent, the cooling unit has too much movement. That movement places stress on the propane line. The line can crack and leak propane, which creates a fire risk near the refrigerator compartment.
Owners can notice the refrigerator not cooling as expected. They can also smell propane or ammonia near the refrigerator area. Those odors or a cooling problem are warning signs that the refrigerator assembly needs attention before continued use.
