Even though our unit is a 2006 we researched this recall. It is very easy to find out if your refrigerator is among those that will be recalled.
Check inside your fridge for serial numberand model. When we open the door there is a plate with this information on the left side of inner main fridge.

Go to www.safecar.gov and check for your model and serial numbers under the recall section.

This information is posted on the internet as the units affected for model RM2862

Manufacturer : DOMETIC CORPORATION
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 06E076000 Recall
Date : AUG 28, 2006
Component: EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 926877
Summary:
THE RELEASE OF COOLANT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS COULD IGNITE AND RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy:
THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WILL NOTIFY OWNERS OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES THAT HAD THE REFRIGERATORS INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND DOMETIC WILL NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE AFTERMARKET REFRIGERATORS. DOMETIC WILL INSTALL A SECONDARY BURNER HOUSING FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN BETWEEN APRIL AND JUNE 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DOMETIC AT 888-446-5157.

CERTAIN DOMETIC TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATORS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 1997 AND MAY 2003: SERIAL NOS. 713XXXXX THROUGH 752XXXXX; 801XXXXX THROUGH 852XXXXX; 901XXXXX THROUGH 952XXXXX; 001XXXXX THROUGH 052XXXXX; 101XXXXX THROUGH 152XXXXX; 201XXXXX THROUGH 252XXXXX; 301XXXXX THROUGH 319XXXXX, INSTALLED IN CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND SOLD AS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. A FATIGUE CRACK MAY DEVELOP IN THE BOILER TUBE WHICH MAY RELEASE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF PRESSURIZED COOLANT SOLUTION INTO AN AREA WHERE AN IGNITION SOURCE (GAS FLAME) IS PRESENT.

This recall was brought up late in the summer on this forum. At that time we called the number provided and entered our contact information. We have not yet heard anything back from Domestic. Has anyone else heard back on this??

We called Dometic early this morning and left our call back info, etc. But as I am an impatient person I went on the website above to track down if our model was involved in the recall. I noticed on the website above, recalls will not begin until sometime between April & June 2007. Fortunately our refrigetator is not in the recall numbers. Maybe they are just collecting info so they can mail out recall notices next spring.
