ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES BUILT WITH DOMETIC TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATORS, A FATIGUE CRACK MAY DEVELOP IN THE BOILER TUBE IN THE AREA OF THE WELD BETWEEN THE BOILER TUBE AND THE HEATER POCKET. A FATIGUE CRACK MAY RELEASE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF PRESSURIZED COOLANT SOLUTION INTO AN AREA WHERE AN IGNITION SOURCE IS PRESENT.
