I have a feeling it's what has been going on in these threads that Dometic was trying to reduce by not making this recall public until all the T's were crossed and the I's dotted. They wanted to eliminate the possibility of a riot and as this thread progresses, the anxiety level has risen. What is it going to be like in April?
The figures stated above are not quite correct. .01% of 926877 units is 93, not 9269. That's 93 out of almost a million. From the Dometic disclosure:
"Dometic estimates a potential maximum incident rate of 0.01% related to boiler fatigue cracks that leak and may result in a fire. There have been no incidents of injury or death related to the affected population of Dometic refrigerators."
As far as I've been able to research, there have been two or three documented fires originating in the fridge area in the last few years, although, whether these were actually related to the recall is still unknown.
Let's not jump the gun on this. Even though Dometic could have handled this better, I still have faith that things will sort themselves out. Dometic has far too much to lose by not taking care of business.
I believe your figures are not correct. 1% of 926877 is 9269
