It says you are a new member. I am going to make an assumption. If this is your first RV then you must know that you will have to be a handy man.
On the refrigerator recall. If the refrigerator quits working, do not throw it away and buy a new one. There is a company in Indiana that makes coils for your refrigerator. They are not cheap, cost me $1,075.00 for mine, but that is a heck of a lot cheaper than a new refrigerator. They come with complete instructions to change them. No recall necessary after their changed.
See if there is a manufacturers service manual available for your rig. It cost me $90.00 for the Workhorse Manual for my Southwind. But I had a serpinetime belt that shredded because a mechanic left a wiring harness bracket off the mounting bolt and it came in contact with the belt. The mechanic didn't have a diagram on how to replace the belt. He about fell out when I pulled out the service manual which showed the belt. Better safe than sorry.
Good Luck, enjoy the lifestyle, especially the people you will meet. And enjoy the things you will learn about fixing an RV. (I even had to put my mufflers back on after the trip home from the dealer and repair a gasoline leak because they missed the hose when putting on the clamp). Go figure!
