Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 Bighorn Silverado, 2014 Bighorn, and 2013-2014 Cyclone and Landmark fifth wheel trailers.

The defect involves the microwave potentially starting on its own and beginning to heat while unattended. If the microwave activates while contents are inside, a fire could result. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.
