The short version

NRC MODIFICATIONS, INC. reported a problem with the equipment recreational vehicle/trailer. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS 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.
