The issue
On certain recreational vehicles equipped with a Samsung microwave oven, an electrical short can occur in the microwave oven's membrane panel keypad causing the oven to activate without pressing any keypads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke or possibly a fire. Correction: Samsung will notify its customers and repair the membrane panel keypad. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave ovens, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the membrane panel keypad is replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules récréatifs équipés d'un four à micro-ondes Samsung, un court-circuit pourrait se produire dans le panneau de commande du four à micro-ondes et activer le four sans que l'on ait appuyé sur les touches. Cela pourrait causer une chaleur excessive, de la fumée ou même un incendie. Correction : Samsung devra avertir ses clients et réparer le panneau de commande. Pendant ce temps, les consommateurs devront débrancher leur micro-ondes, si possible. Sinon, ils devront laisser la porte entre-ouverte jusqu'à ce que le panneau de commande ait été remplacé.
