Ann Arbor, Mich.-based supplier Norcold Inc. has voluntarily extended the serial number range of recalled cooling units found on gas absorption/electric refrigerator models 1200LR, 1200LRIM and 1201LRIM built prior to Feb. 28, 2001.

Norcold notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada of the extension upon becoming aware that the earlier recall could involve additional refrigerators.

The body of affected cooling units was built from March 1, 1999 through February of 2001. The cooling unit serial numbers (found on the solution chamber and viewed through the refrigerator intake vent door outside the RV) range from 1008701-1273700, non-consecutively.

"Safe, enjoyable RVing by our customers is our number one priority,"� said Kevin Phillips, vice president of sales and marketing for Thetford. "When we realized that the original recall did not cover every potential refrigerator, we voluntarily extended the recall range. We are working closely with NHTSA to have an approved remedy available as soon as possible."�

Vehicle owners with these models are advised to stop operating their refrigerator until it has been inspected and the remedy applied.

Letters detailing the recall extension will be sent to all manufacturers, distributors, dealers and service centers. Owners will be contacted when information becomes available.

For more information call 1-800-767-9101 with any questions.
