The Dometic refer in my 2001 Sierra which I just bought has hadly been used at all in the past 10 years, never had the recall done... works fine on gas andelectric but I decided to replace the 120V element and have the recall work done...
Replaced the element today with a new one, here are photos of the old and new element. They have done some redesign work as timsrv mentioned earlier....
edit: WTF can't use HTML to post photos? OK copy and paste time...

The old one measured 38.4 ohms, the new one 41.0 ohms... still too low with the 120 VAC here so I will install a light dimmer to lower the voltage (and wattage).
