Summary:
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SAMSUNG MICROWAVE OVENS, MODELS MR1031WB, MR1032BB, MR1033SB, MR1352BB, AND MR1351WB, THE MICROWAVES WERE PRODUCED WITH A DEFECTIVE MEMBRANE PANEL. THESE MICROWAVE OVENS HAVE THE ONE TOUCH INSTANT COOK FUNCTION FOR ITEMS SUCH AS POPCORN, POTATO, ETC. |

Consequence:
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. |
