NHTSA Complaint #10223389 — 2000 SUNDOWNER SUNLITE LQ

DOMETIC HAS A RECALL ON THE RV TYPE 2 DOOR REFRIGERATOR MODEL RM2652 THAT WAS INSTALLED BY SUNDOWNER TRAILERS MFG. IN MY SIERRA 720 / 8010 LIVING QUARTERS HORSE TRAILER. THIS RECALL IS DUE TO A POSSIBLE FATIGUE CRACK IN THE BOILER/GAS TUBE THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A " TORCH" IF ESCAPING GASES GOT TO AN IGNITION SOURCE, WHICH ALSO RESIDES AT THE BOILER TUBE LOCATION AS THIS IS A COMBO GAS/ELECTRIC APPLIANCE, CAUSING A VEHICLE FIRE. DOMETIC HAS COME UP WITH A WORK AROUND BANDAID, WHICH WOULD, HOPEFULLY, SHUT DOWN THE GAS FLOW BY INSTALLING A SENSOR NEAR OR ON THE BOILER TUBE TO DETECT THE GAS LEAK. HOPEFULLY, THIS WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE THE ENTIRE UNIT BECAME A 70MPH BALL OF FLAMES WHICH WOULD CAUSE INJURY AND / OR DEATH TO MY SURPRISE WINNING SHOW HORSES WHICH WOULD VALUE INTO THE $100,000.00 RANGE. I AM ABSOLUTELY SCARED TO SUBJECT MY HORSES TO THAT KIND OF POTENTIAL DANGER IN HOPES THAT DOMETIC'S BANDAID WILL WORK. IF THIS WERE JUST ANOTHER RV THAT DIDN'T TRANSPORT VALUABLE LIVE STOCK, I WOULDN'T WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT IT AS I DO CARRY INSURANCE. HOWEVER, TO TAKE THIS CHANCE WITH SEVERAL LIVES, I JUST DON'T THINK IT IS WORTH IT ! YOUR ATTENTION INTO THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. PLEASE REPLY SO THAT I KNOW WHICH DIRECTION TO PROCEED... THANK YOU. *TR
