Thor Industries and Fleetwood Enterprises, two of the largest U.S. makers of RVs, have reported recalls of on-board Dometic refrigerators in 231,351 motorhomes and travel trailers to fix a possible fire hazard.

Affected RVs have refrigerators made by Dometic Corp., which alerted the manufacturers. At least eight trailers built from 2004 to 2007 by Thor's Keystone RV "appear to be related'' to coolant leaked from cracked refrigerator tubing, Keystone wrote to NHTSA.

The recall involves 161,250 trailers made by Keystone for the 2004 through 2007 model years, and 70,101 Fleetwood motorhomes and trailers from the 2003 through 2007 model years, according to the two manufacturers.

Dometic recently expanded its recall on a population of two-door refrigerators. The original recall included some two-door refrigerators manufactured between April 1997 and May 2003. The recent expansion of this recall now includes the same two-door refrigerators, manufactured between June 2003 and September 2006.

To find out if your refrigerator falls within either of the recalls, enter the serial number of your Dometic refrigerator here.
