I disconnect my house batteries every time I put my coach in storage , or non-use for any period of time via the house battery disconnect switch. 100s of times. Plus I have one of the 1st, not THE 1ST generation of recall boxes and no problems.

Would someone be able to tell me how to tell which revision is installed in my RV? Where would I look?
Thanks!
Take the outside vent off and find the black 2" square box that may be clamped to one of the tubes and the sticker on it should say which one you have.

I am not doing the recalls, I installed a SS-30 Small-Format Automatic-Release Fire Extinguisher in my refer back cabinet. The extinguisher is aimed at the fire box and will automatically trigger one pound of Halon into the refer compartment.

The last recall was the heat sensor on my coach, and I have not had any problems with it and I have my inverter turned off all the time. I have disconnected my batteries when servicing them. Knock on wood but my has been flawless.

I expect that saved the day for you.
Not sure why Norcold would build it that way since it is sure someone is going to have a RV with a battery shut-off switch and use it.

Wow, and then there's those of us who are planning on upgrading our RVs this fall...I've been looking at used units for months and they are almost always 2-4 door Norcolds! Darnit!
My Dometic hasn't been trouble free, but at least I don't have to worry about it burning down my RV.

Open the outside access door to fridge. At upper left there is a board
with 4 wires and a red led bulb. That indicates the latest fix. I just had
that recall done.
