I recently became aware of this potential problem in a 2001 trailer that I just purchased. Upon investigation I discovered my fridge was one of the affected units. I had the recall changes made but the RV shop was VERY vague on what they had done. After reading this Dometic Recall information, it seems that the higher wattage heating element is the cause of the rapid fatigue of the boiler tube which then leaks ammonia and results in the fridge being rendered inoperative. I understand that the addition of a secondary burner shield will help to prevent a fire, but would it not also contribute to an even higher heat and thereby more rapid fatigue of the boiler tube and consequently leakage of ammonia ?
