DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION
Posted on: 2005-10-04
Description
On certain recreational vehicles, the rear spring hanger brackets may not have been installed in accordance with haulmark's specifications during the modification process. This condition could cause the spring hanger fasteners to lose torque and fail.
Consequence
Should the spring hanger fasteners fail, the axle may disconnect from the frame, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and, potentially, a crash.
Corrective Action
An authorized freightliner dealer will inspect and replace the spring hanger fasteners. The recall is expected to begin during october 2005. Owners may contact haulmark at 866-760-8195 to locate the closest freightliner dealer to make arrangements to have their vehicle inspected.

DEFECT #2 - EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
Posted on: 2011-05-05
Description
Haulmark is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200 series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Consequence
The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Corrective Action
Haulmark is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on may 25, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.
