Could one spread some hi-temp. epoxy on the area that ruptures?

Could not one sand the area around the welded tube and mix up a pint of JB and just totally encase the whole area?? Seems to me that the problem is the weld and that is the product defect that is not being addressed by Dometic....Just trying to prevent a fire on the premature failure of their product.IMO
As great as J-B Weld is, and I use it regularly, I wouldn't want to totally restrict any thermal expansion (movement) in a piece of tubing. If you were to restrict that movement, a failure could happen even sooner and you might void any possible Dometic warranty (if there even is a warranty!!).
Has anyone leaned on the NTSB, BBB or government watchdog group for better responses from Dometic? I haven't gotten any kind of a respose from reporting my reefer to Dometic as within the recall range. There must be some group that has the wherewithall to give them a figurative kick in the shins to move this along. I understand that they are going to be affected financially by this recall, but since they seem to have the major markets covered, will recover.
