StructureReported December 4, 2006 · 117 vehicles affected

What is wrong: On certain cargo/travel trailers, overloading and incorrectly positioning cargo in the rear cargo area can result in alight hitch weight and affect stability.

This can cause a crash involving the trailer and tow vehicle.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the trailer, tow vehicle and hitch equipment; install new cargo load limit labels and placards in the cargo area; furnish loading limit information; replace the coupler and safety chains; and reinforce the a-frame.

Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailerReported November 4, 2003 · 14,522 vehicles affected

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 thor california at 1‑909‑697‑4190.

Recall number 03V448000 · Recall details

Engine and engine cooling: exhaust system: manifold/header/muffler/tail pipeReported May 19, 2003 · 73 vehicles affected

Risk: The tailpipe exhaust needs to be released away from the underside of the trailer.
