What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the defect 'could present a risk of a fire,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk hazards in vehicles.

Plain-English summary

Coachmen RV Company, LLC is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Brookstone trailers equipped with a Dometic conventional microwave oven. The recall involves 365 units.

The conventional microwave oven may not have been installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Specifically, the blower unit should have been rotated to 180 degrees to direct the exhaust out of the front of the conventional oven prior to installation. This defect could present a risk of a fire.

Dealers will inspect the conventional microwave oven and, if the defect is present, rotate the blower tube to comply with the manufacturer's instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin during February 2011. Owners may contact Coachmen at 574-825-8360 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
