Defect. ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON FORD CHASSIS, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY OVERHEAT.
Risk. OVERHEATING COULD RESULT IN SMOKE OR BURNING, AND IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy. FORD IS CONDUCTING THIS RECALL (PLEASE SEE 06V286) AND WILL INSTALL A FUSED WIRING HARNESS INTO THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-866-436-7332 OR JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267.
Defect. ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SAMSUNG MICROWAVE OVENS, THESE UNITS 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.

DRIVING 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE 44. FELT SUDDEN VIBRATION. THOUGHT IT WAS ROUGHNESS IN THE ROAD, SO I MOVED TO A DIFFERENT LANE. VIBRATION DID NOT STOP. I THEN THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE ANOTHER FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL TIRE TREAD SEPARATING BECAUSE I HAVE HAD EIGHT (8) PREVIOUS FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL TIRES SUFFER CATASTROPHIC TREAD SEPARATION FAILURES! BEFORE I COULD MOVE TO THE RIGHT AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE TREAD PEELED ALL THE OFF. IT DAMAGED THE MOTORHOME SEVERELY. NOTE THAT, ALTHOUGH ALL 8 PREVIOUS TREAD SEPARATION FAILURES OCCURRED EXPLOSIVELY, THIS ONE DID NOT EXPLODE. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY, LET THE AIR OUT OF THE FAILED TIRE AND INSTALLED THE SPARE TIRE UNTIL I COULD GO GET A NEW REPLACEMENT TIRE.*AK
FIRESTONE, STEELTEX RADIAL TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM CORE EXPLOSIVELY ON OUR MOTORHOME WITH ONLY 28,070 MILES ON IT. THIS IS 1ST FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL TIRE TO FAIL ON THIS MOTORHOME, BUT IT FOLLOWS ALL SEVEN (7) OF THE FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL TIRES ON OUR LAST (IDENTICAL) MOTORHOME FAILING IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY ONE BY ONE OVER A PERIOD OF JUST A YEAR OR SO. THESE TIRES CAME ALREADY ON THE MOTORHOMES WHEN WE BOUGHT THEM NEW.*AK

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.
