Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- 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.
- The 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.
- The fix
- 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. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact samsung at 800-932-3837 or jayco at 1-574-825-0608.

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
