Vickey...I'm sure that if the refer was still under warranty they would have repaired or replaced, however there are what...90,000 of these bad units out there with the earliest being manufactured in 1997, that puts the majority of them out of warranty.
As for Willey B's response I tend to agree however if the entire RV is lost to a fire it is covered by insurance with the exception of a deductible. If the refer breaks down that isn't covered and the repair in most cases is more than a deductible. I hate to look at it that way but I can't help it.
I have to wonder if addressing this issue with Dometic while registering for the recall now would help. Something like, "I understand that my unit is included in the proposed recall and your report to the NHTSA states that in the majority of cases this problem will result in an non operating referigerator...so what happens if I don't have a fire but a non operating refrigerator?"
