The entry steps on my minnie winnie are tearing away from the mounting bracket. Actually the bracket itself, which is about 3/16" thick by 11 3/4" long is ripping at the bend from vertical to horizontal. Both sides have 4" tears in the front portion. I will email digital photos. This presents a safety hazard as a person using the steps at time of complete failure, will fall from as much as 18" in the air to the ground.

Recall number 04V512000 · Recall details
Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.
- Risk
- These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
- Remedy

Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- On certain motor homes equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these units 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 winnebago at 641‑585‑3535.
