2003–2004 Lance Camper recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain campers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, models MR5491G, MR5492W, MR5493G, MR5494W, MR7491G, MR7492W, MR7493G, MR6698WB, MR6699GB, MR6699SB, MR1031WB, MR1032BB, MR1033SB, MR1351WB, and MR1352BB, the microwaves 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.

💥 The 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.

🔧 The fix

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 may contact samsung at 1-800-932-3837 or lance at 661-949-3322.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
