Thanks for the info, BigRedTruckMI. My TT is a 1991, so if you hear of anything for them, please let me know.

I saw this in Trailer life magazine pg 20 in Sept 07 edition.

Also the toll free # is 888-446-5157 for Dometic.

I had the recall done on my '03 Alpenlite fifthwheel. Watched the "upgrade" being done. Basically they install a sheetmetal housing around the burner portion of the propane section of the refrigerator. Then they add a sensor above the burner, so if a fire starts in the burner area, the sensor shuts off the propane. This is all "good" if the fire has not started burning something other than propane.

The "upgrade" makes servicing/cleaning the burner a PITA.

They put a whole new burner assembly in mine along with the shield.
Something about possible cracking of the burner assembly and it had to be replaced.

Had recall upgrade done on my 03 Keystone Cougar. Had problem with GAS operation afterwards.m Turned out to be gas starved, needed to opurge gas line. Cost $50.00 at local Camping world.

Wife raised "HOLY HELL" with store manager because they installed Recall kit. Got store to refund $58.00.
