On certain travel trailers equipped with Frigidaire KG series microwaves, a defect in the microwave oven keypad could cause the oven to activate without pressing any keys. This could result in excessive heat, smoke or possibly a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace affected keypads. In the interim, 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 microwave is replaced.
On certain motorhomes, the Battery Isolation Manager (located inside the Battery Control Center) may develop a short circuit, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the Battery Isolation Manager with an updated version.
