Defect. ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SAMSUNG MICROWAVE OVENS, THESE OVENS WERE PRODUCED WITH A DEFECTIVE PANEL. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR BETWEEN CIRCUIT PATTERNS ON THE MEMBRANE PANEL, ESPECIALLY OVERLAPPED BY A "JUMPER" OR JUMP WIRE. THIS MAY CAUSE THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS.
Risk. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS. THIS COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE HEAT, SMOKE, OR POSSIBLY A FIRE.
Remedy. SAMSUNG WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THE PANEL FREE OF CHARGE. IN THE MEANTIME, CONSUMERS SHOULD UNPLUG THEIR MICROWAVE, IF POSSIBLE. IF THE CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE, THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE DOOR AJAR UNTIL THE PANEL IS REPLACED.

THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR IN OUR 2004 TIOGA CLASS C RV STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING WHILE IT WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. WHEN THE COVER WAS OPENED FOR MAINTENANCE WE DISCOVERED A YELLOWISH DEPOSIT AND EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE FROM THE BOILER TUBE. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS MODEL WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL DUE TO NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FATIGUE CRACKS AND BAD WELDS IN THE BOILER TUBE OF THE COOLING UNIT. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS DEFECT AT ANY TIME. AS INSTRUCTED ON THE DOMETIC WEBSITE, WE BROUGHT THE RV TO CAMPING WORLD SERVICE CENTER, WHICH IS CERTIFIED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THAT ALL DOMETIC WILL DO IS PROVIDE A METAL SHIELD TO PREVENT FIRES CAUSED BY THIS INTERNAL DEFECT. THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO OUR REFRIGERATOR THAT WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. ADDING A $40 HEAT SHIELD TO A NOW NON-WORKING REFRIGERATOR IS USELESS AND DOES NOTHING TO REPLACE OUR CANCELLED VACATION PLANS. AS MOST OF OUR CAMPING TRIPS ARE DRY CAMPING (NO ELECTRICAL HOOKUPS), WE RELY ON LP GAS TO RUN THE REFRIGERATOR AND ARE CONCERNED THAT OUR FAMILY WAS PLACED IN SERIOUS DANGER OF FIRE WITH NO ATTEMPTS BY THE MANUFACTURER TO NOTIFY US SO THAT WE COULD HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED BEFORE IT DAMAGED THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM.

LETTER FORTH COMING WITH PICTURES. LOOSE GAS FILLER PIPE INSTALLATION. *LA
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
