My fridge failed do to the same recall problem as stated below. I need at least a new cooling unit. I can send pictures if you like. What help can you provide? serial number 1294027. Cu1744291. In a 2004 motor home. There is charred burned wood above the refrigerator stack. Thetford was evasive and no help.1200lr, 1200lrim and 1201lrim series models norcold has voluntarily recalled 1200lr, 1200lrim and 1201lrim model gas/electric refrigerators built from 1996 through february of 2001. Affected models have a cooling unit serial number (found on the solution chamber and viewed through the refrigerator vent door outside the rv) from 700000-1273700. The defect is a potential cooling unit leak caused during ac electric mode operation. If a leak occurs, the refrigerator's cooling performance will deteriorate and a yellow powder residue will be evident at the cooling unit's heating element. Because extended operation of a leaking cooling unit in the ac electric mode may result in a fire, immediate repair. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, and want to assure that your refrigerator provides you years of safe, reliable and dependable service. An affected refrigerator without a leak must still be serviced to have its cooling unit repaired to prevent any potential future problem. Persons owning one of the affected models should: turn off the refrigerator. Do not use it until it has been repaired. Contact a dealer/service center to arrange a service date as soon as possible. The cooling unit will be repaired at no charge for parts and labor.

At less than 40,000 miles, the rubber boots on my front suspension ball joints failed.this allowed dirt and water into the sealed area which caused the ball joints to fail.i had to have them replaced at 47,000 miles.while i was at the spartan factory having the work done, i talked to 3 other people with the exact same problem.one of these people only had 20,000 miles on their coach.it is obvious there is a problem with these ball joint units, they are defective.
