NORCOLD ISSUED A RECALL AT THE END OF LAST YEAR FOR OVER HEATING AND FIRES. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIR DONE TWICE AND THE REFRIGERATOR FAILED TO WORK FOR THE 3RD TIME TODAY. IT IS NOT EASY TO TAKE THIS IN FOR REPAIRS AND IS VERY UPSETTING TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE MOTORHOME AND HAVING TO STOP AND CANCEL YOUR TRIP AND RETURN HOME.NORCOLD NEEDS TO HAVE A PROPER FIX FOR THIS RECALL OR REPLACE REFRIGERATOR.

ALL THE WINDOWS ON MY COACH HAVE FOGGED BETWEEN THE PANES, I HAD TO HAVE MY DRIVER SIDE REPLACED ON MY OWN FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, THE REST ALL SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED AND THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH SUCH A HIGH PROFILE VEHICLE , I BELIEVE FLEETWOOD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPAIR! *TR
