[VAC] Norcold recalls

838 and 8310 Series Models
Need replacement power board and wiring kit, eyebrow assembly.  Look for decorator buttons on fascia of eyebrow (vertical section near edges).  Eyebrow needs to have a button at each edge.

N600 and N800 Series Models
Norcold has voluntarily recalled N841, N821, N641 and N621 gas/electric refrigerators built in 1999. Affected models have refrigerator serial numbers (found on the inside right of the cabinet) from 691972-771576, and a cooling unit serial number (found on the solution chamber and viewed through the refrigerator vent door outside the RV) from 1038000-1099000.
The defect is a potential cooling unit leak caused during AC electric mode operation. If a leak occurs, the refrigerator's cooling performance will deteriorate and a yellow powder residue will be evident at the cooling unit’s heating element. Because extended operation of a leaking cooling unit in the AC electric mode may result in a fire, immediate replacement of the cooling unit is required.
An affected refrigerator without a leak must still be serviced to have its cooling unit heating element replaced to prevent any potential future problem.
    
N260, N300, 322/323 Models
Norcold has voluntarily recalled three small gas absorption/electric refrigerators, primarily used in folding camping trailers, which potentially could have a safety defect involving stress corrosion cracking in brass swivel nuts on the their pressure tap components. A significant crack could potentially cause propane gas leakage during gas operation of these units:
