Marty,
We like the Mesquite area. I love the red and green contrast! Many folks have a small 'apartment' type fridge or some even use an ice chest to keep food in an emergency. I know they advise you to NOT use the fridge but I'm sure that is as much a CYA thing as it a 'real' issue.
If it were me I'd simply use the fridge until they were ready to actually change it out. I would, however, watch it very carefully. In our case we continued to use it until it actually broke! There was yellow stuff all over the outside in the lower vent area.
To be extra careful while using the fridge I'd have a fire extinguisher at the ready just in case. You just have to weigh the convenience against the danger. In our case the 'dangerous' part was 'fixed' by the addition of a flimsy little screen device. After this was installed was when our fridge lost its coolant. There are a couple of different brands of fridges used in the Montanas and I don't know if the recall was for the same reason or not.
We were lucky that they replaced our broken fridge at their cost. Shortly thereafter they stopped doing that.
On the same subject some folks are replacing the RV style fridges with a regular residential type when they need a replacement.
Good luck with whatever you do. HamRad
