TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON OUR NORCOLD MODEL # 1200LRIM AND SERIAL # 1118725 F WITH THE ARPRV CONTROL V1.0 OR V1.1 HTS KIT BEING INSTALLED IN I BELIEVE 2013. MY FRIDGE DOES NOT WORK AT TIMES; IT WILL NOT TURN ON. I FOUND A REMEDY ON YOUTUBE, TO TAKE A MAGNET AND GO BACK AND FORTH OVER THE KIT AND YOU CAN HEAR A CLICK AND IT WORKS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR TIMES. I CONTACTED THE RECALL SITE CONTACTS ON THE INTERNET AND THEY ARE SAYING IT ISN'T THEIR PROBLEM TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. IT HAS GOT TO BE THE HTS KIT THAT IS FAILING AND I CAN'T GET ANY ASSISTANCE. HAVE YOU RECEIVED AN INFO ON PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM? NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09E027000 COMPONENT(S): EQUIPMENT. *TR

VARIOUS WINDOWS IN THE COACH ARE CLOUDY AND CAN NOT BE CLEANED , IMPAIRING VISION. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN THEM BUT IT APPEARS TO BE IN BETWEEN THE WINDOW PANES. I WAS PULLING OFF OF THE FREEWAY OFF RAMP AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN ON TO THE MAIN ROAD, I WAS NEARLY T-BONED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THE CLOUDINESS REFLECT ONCOMING VEHICLE HEAD LIGHTS TO BE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION THEN WHAT THEY ACTUALLY ARE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH A VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF FORUMS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I CAN SEND PICTURES IF THIS CAN GO ANY FARTHER TO GETTING SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
