Hi Folks, Just recieved this from Dometic...

Dometic has voluntarily expanded it's recent refrigerator recall to include some of the 2 door refrigs manufactured between June 1 2003' and Sept 30 2006' in RV's.

The problem, after some period of use, a fatigue crack may devolop in the boiler tube of the covered refrig. that may release a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source may be presant. Under certain conditions, the coolant could ignite and result in a fire. This defect relates to Motor Vehicle Safty.

Affected units Mo#'s
NDR1062, RM2652, RM2662, RM2663, RM2852, RM2862, RM3662, RM3663,& RM3862.

320xxxxx thru 352xxxxx
401xxxxx thru 452xxxxx
501xxxxx thru 552xxxxx

Hi Nick,
This 'expanded' recall is the same repair as the heat shield/limit switch improvement?  Or is this another modification? 
Either way, I'm pretty sure my unit was manufactured prior to 2003...?
Maybe 2001 or 2002...I'll have to check that. 

Thanks, JR
