I HAVE A '99 MALARD 26M TRAVEL TRAILER (VIN # [XXX]) WITH A DOMETIC RM2652 (SERIAL # 85100049) REFRIGERATOR IN IT. THE REFRIGERATOR FAILED SO I STARTING SHOPPING FOR ONE AND CAME ACROSS A "RECALL" FOR DOMETIC RV REFRIGERATORS. I CONTACTED DOMETIC REGARDING THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE UNIT. THE UNIT FAILED DUE TO A CRACK IN THE BOILER TUBE AND ALL OF THE AMONIA FREFRIGERANT LEAKED OUT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. DOMETIC CLAIMS THAT THEY WILL ONLY PAY FOR A MODIFICATION TO THE UNIT ONLY AFTER I PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE RECALL NOTICE LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE SAYS IN PARAGRAPH 6 "IF YOU PREVIOUSLY PAID TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A DOMETIC REFIRGERATOR THAT FAILED DUE TO THIS DEFECT, YOU CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR YOUR COSTS PURSUANT TO DOMETIC'S PRE-NOTIFICATION REIMBURSMENT PROGRAM". I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AT DOMETIC AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT. THIS UNIT FAILED DUE TO THIS KNOWN DEFECT WHICH IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND I BELIEVE DOMETIC SHOULD AT LEAST PAY FOR MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW UNIT BECAUSE I NEED ONE BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY CAN HELP PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
