On 6/17/11 I was driving the rv I just purchased on 6/1/11 with my 2 sons and heard one of my back tires blow out. Pulled off the road and the passenger inside rear tire had blown off. Drove to a garage where they put the spare on. On 7/28/11 my wife and I and another couple were on our way to florida in the rv. We drove 200 miles when one of the tires blew out. When we found a gas station to pull over at we saw that it was the spare tire we had replaced from the first blowout. The garage only had 1 used tire that they gave us to get us to a tire dealer. At our next stop for gas we checked the tires and noticed the driver's side rear inside tire was hot and humped in the middle. About an hour later we could smell rubber and then started hearing pieces of the tire coming off. We found a tire dealership in georgia and purchased 3 new firestone tires which was what we had on the front of the rv. The 4 tires on the back and the spare were all cooper tires and were bought in 2009. The rv only had a total of 24,000 miles on it when we bought it and since the cooper tires were just bought in 2009 they couldn't have had many miles on them and I don't think the spare had ever been on the road until we put it on. I have pictures of the tires if anyone would like to see them.

Recall number 07V120000 · Recall details
Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- On certain travel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these ovens 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.
- 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.
- 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. 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 fleetwood at 1‑800‑629‑8454.
