What bothers me about this recall is that it does not eliminate the potential leak.
I have the repair kit and the installation instructions, it is nothing more than a patch up kit to prevent the leaking fluid from igniting.
The leaking fluid and subsequent failure of the refrigerator remains the burden for the RV owner. Who knows what that will cost.
This is the second new RV I've purchased that has had an inherent fault with the Dometic refrigerator. The first was one of thousands that were fitted with a circuit board that would quit after a year or so rendering the fridge useless. No recall on that, but it cost about $120 for the replacement board, more if you had a dealer install it.
I think that it's time for our RV manufacturers to find a new supplier of refrigerators. Dometic don't seem to have the ability to make a good product, nor the sense of responsibility to do the right thing and replace leaking units at their expense.
