Certain refrigerators used in Recreational Vehicles (RVs) contain either a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch to interrupt power when it detects high temperatures that could lead to a fire. An insufficient response time can result in the power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a thermocouple with a faster response time for all refrigerators with a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch.
A failure of this component (accessories) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain motorhomes, the brake calipers may stick in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end which, if undetected, could eventually lead to soft brake pedal condition due to brake fluid boil. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 101 and 105. Incorrect software programmed into the instrument panel cluster may not allow activation of certain driver warning indicators. As a result, the instrument cluster may fail to illuminate the warning lamps indicating brake system failure. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster.
A failure of this component (lights and instruments) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain motorhomes may have insufficient clearance in the area where the fuel line and frame cross member intersect. The cross member may wear into the fuel line and cause a leak which has the potential to ignite, resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel line for abrasion wear or damage, and pry the wiring support channel away from the line to provide additional clearance.

On certain recreational vehicles equipped with a Samsung microwave oven, an electrical short can occur in the microwave oven's membrane panel keypad causing the oven to activate without pressing any keypads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke or possibly a fire. Correction: Samsung will notify its customers and repair the membrane panel keypad. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave ovens, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the membrane panel keypad is replaced.

On certain vehicles, the flame on the cooking range may be forced downward over the burner or flame outage may occur when the cooking range and furnace are operating at the same time. This condition is due to the location of the furnace and cooking range whereby the furnace may draw air in from above the range burners and cause a downdraft. Should this occur, the flame may go out, the LP gas will continue to flow which will result in a hazardous situation. Personal injury and/or vehicle damage may result. Correction: Dealer will inspect the galley cabinet partition and, if necessary, install a panel to reduce the amount of airflow between the two appliances.

On certain vehicles, a plate which is used to support the spare tire was inadvertently left off D30B motor homes built on a Ford chassis. Without this additional support, the spare tire may fall off the vehicle resulting in property damage and possibly personal injury. Correction: Dealer will inspect the spare tire mount and, if necessary, install a new support plate.
