I HAVE A 2004 KEYSTONE TRAVEL TRAILER. THE REFRIGERATOR HAS A RECALL FROM DOMETIC. THE RECALL IS TO PREVENT FIRES IF THE REFRIGERATOR LEAKS FLAMMABLE COOLANT INTO THE PROPANE FLAME. MY COOLER HAS STARTED TO LEAK AND IS NO LONGER SAFE TO USE. DOMETIC WILL NOT REPLACE THE FAULTY COOLER. THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM (LEAKING COOLERS) IS TO INSTALL A SWITCH THAT TURNS THE FRIDGE OFF IN CASE OF A LEAK. IT DOES NOT FIX THE REAL PROBLEM (THE FAULTY COOLER). THEY WILL NOT EVEN ALLOW ME TO HAVE THE KIT PUT ON UNTIL I PURCHASE A NEW COOLER. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH DOMETIC. I FEEL THAT DOMETIC NEEDS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ELECTRIC GLIDE OUT MECHANISM WAS LOCATED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME. THIS TAKES THE CLEARANCE FROM THE TIRES WHEN THE FIFTH WHEEL IS TURNING. THE TIRE RUBBED AGAINST THE MECHANISM AND CAUSED THEM TO WEAR PREMATURELY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A BLOW OUT. ALSO, NO CHAINS CAN BE PUT ON TIRES BECAUSE THERE IS NO SPACE FOR THEM. CHAINS IS NEEDED AND REQUIRED BY LAW FOR DRIVING IN BAD WHETHER. THE GLIDE OUT MANUFACTURER REMOVED THE MECHANISM FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE FIFTH-WHEEL AND PUT IT IN ON THE INSIDE, WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS ON ALL FIFTH-WHEEL AND TRAILERS. *JB CONSUMER FEELS SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSED OF TIRES ON LEFT SIDE RUBBING ON SLIDEOUT SYSTEM PLACED ON OUTSIDE OF FRAME. *BF *NM
