TRAVEL SUPREME, INC. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Jun 16, 2004, covering about 107 vehicles.
The problem
On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, model mr1032bb, 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.
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.

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 membrane 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.
