Here's Your Chance To Be Heard!

If you have a story about the RV refrigerator recall, a fire, a claim, the response or service you received, or anything you would like to share about your RV, we would like to include it in our newest book that will include "RV Refrigerator Recalls". The goal of this book is to educate RV owners and technicians on these recalls and unite them with the RV refrigerator manufacturers, RV manufacturers, fire investigators, attorneys/legal advisors, government officials, etc.  By doing so, RV owners can receive the fairest service possible and will see that RV companies really do care about them. Send your stories about anything RV Related, RV recalls, & pictures to:
fordrv@rvrefrigeration.com. Sending your story and pictures constitutes permission for Ford RV to use the story in publications. Please indicate how we should list you as the source.

Ford RV reserves the right to choose the stories that will be used or to edit any where needed.

In one months time we have received 15,000 hits at our web site. 

Ford RV is in no way responsible for these recalls. They are the responsibility of the manufacturers, Dometic and Norcold. You may also go to their web sites to see if your refrigerator is listed. www.norcold.com or www.dometic.com

Ford RV is  merely authorized by these manufacturers  to install the parts they have manufactured for this recall.

This page is strictly an informational for the RV owner. As we are updated by the manufacturers, we update this page.

EVEN IF YOUR REFRIGERATOR WORKS, YOU NEED TO SEE IF IT FALLS UNDER THE RECALL!!

Through the increase in sales from our first two books, we have found that RV owners, RV technicians, and many from the HVAC & Appliance repair industries  are hungry for the information we offer them, especially when it comes to RV absorption refrigerators. Many RVer’s from across the nation are contacting us and our RV Refrigeration Network (RVRN) Association member’s about the recall on their Dometic and Norcold refrigerators. Many of them report they received no notice that their refrigerator was a fire hazard and are very unhappy about the situation. Even worse, many have called our office after their refrigerator caught fire and again, these people had no knowledge there was even a recall. This has given them a very bad impression of these two RV refrigerator manufacturers which has led them to ask many questions.

 

In an attempt to network these leaders with the RV owners, we have sent them letters and a questionnaire.  The letters, the answers to the questionnaire, and a list of who they were sent to will be included in the book so that our readers will see that the RV refrigerator manufacturers really do care about them.  Here are samples of the questionnaires sent in May 2011.   
Dometic Questionnaire  -  Norcold Questionnaire
 

 

We are very sad to report that neither Dometic nor Norcold have responded to your questions. What does this tell you?

If your refrigerator does not fall under the recall today, we recommend that you check back periodically in case these manufacturers add to it as they have done for the past 3 years.
