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.

I HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO LOS ANGELES. WHEN WE WERE UNLOADING OUR TRAILER I NOTICED ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS AT A ANGLE ON CLOSER EXAMINATION I FOUND THAT THE CENTER HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE WHEEL. I REMOVED THE WHEEL AND FOUND THAT THE WELDS HAD BROKEN HOLDING THE CENTER TO THE WHEEL THE WELDS DO NOT HAVE WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER PROPER PENETRATION. THEY ALSO WERE DIRTY AND RUSTY INDICATING THEY HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR A WHILE THERE IS ALSO SCRUB MARKS SHOWING THAT THE CENTER WAS MOVING BACK AND FORTH ON THE WHEEL. I HAVE PICTURES I CAN SEND IF NEEDED. THESE ARE MADE BY INTERO PARENT COMPANY IS CARLISLE. I KNOW THEY HAVE HAD OTHER RECALLS FOR THERE TRAILER PRODUCTS. THE TRAILER IS A 2000 TAHOE 33FT 5TH WHEEL TRANSPORTER THE WHEELS WERE MADE 12 OF 1999. I KNOW THIS WAS 8 YEARS AGO BUT THIS WHEEL SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE TRAILERS OUT THERE. *TR
