- Summary
- On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, models MR1031WB, MR1032BB, MR1033SB, MR1352BB, and MR1351WB, 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.
- Consequence
- 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 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. Owners should contact samsung at 1-800-932-3837 or potomac RV at 1-574-970-0559.
- Notes
- Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Potomac been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Potomac dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
