02/2022 REFRIGERATOR RECALL - post all comment here = don't start a new thread.

Is this an issue mainly dealing with using propane to operate the obsorbtion fridges and the heat melts the casing causing the short?

I don't think so. Both LP and the electric elements heat the boiler, so either power source puts the wiring at risk if it comes in contact with the boiler or other hot parts of the cooling system.

My 2021 Momentum (LP frig) is not on the recall, even though it was built in 4/21. I will still do the check myself to make sure. From the description, easy check for most anyone, and would not run the trailer into the dealer unless I saw a problem.

Yea, havent had to remove one yet to actually see the whole backside yet, but after reviewing a few diagrams and videos on them, I can see the issue with the external plumbing behind the fridges which could cause an issue.

BTW, my serial falls into the recall list. Bummer, will probably take another look at mine again. Last summer installed cabinet and defroster fans, so had to hookup to existing 12v fridge supply bus.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Take it to the dealer in the early spring and get it back in the late fall. Just in time to winterize it.

Seems like this should be a customer inspection recall. How hard is it to remove the outside refrigerator cover, look and see where the 110v power cord is routed and take it from there.

My Momentum 394M (2018) is not in the VIN range for the recall. It's probably a moot point anyway, as I will be taking the trailer to JC Refrigeration in May to have them remove the Norcold 2118 and remove the entire back of the refrig and convert it over to the twin 12VDC compressor mod.

As with most recalls, they want proof that the fix was done in accordance with the requirements.

To everyone trying to look at the VIN list to figure out if your rig is affected, notice they all have the “Not Sequential” box checked. On a previous recall my trailer fell within a VIN range, but GD told me it wasn’t affected.

You're probably right but If I can I will still repair it, if needed, on my unit. I am going to look at it today to see what's what. I'm 3 hours from my dealer, or any Grand Design dealer for that matter. Total waste of time to go that far for a 15-minute fix. Unless there is a burned wire, then a little longer, or maybe a Mobile Tech.

Edit - note: while my Vin does not appear to be within the range of recalls, I'll still check. As mentioned previously, they are marked non sequential.

Another option if in the recall vin range would be going to a GD Rally. When you checking they will let you know you have an open recall and will schedule a tech to come by. This is how we handled the propane regulator recall.
