What happened

Liebherr has recalled certain built-in refrigerators because the door can detach, creating an injury hazard. The recall involves 24-inch wide single door refrigerator models R1400, RI1400, RB1400, and RBI1400, sold individually or as part of side-by-side refrigerator models SBS240, SBS24I0, SBS245, and SBS24I5. These units are stainless steel or custom finish models built into kitchen cabinetry with "Liebherr" marked on the top interior control panel.

Consumers who own recalled refrigerators should contact Liebherr immediately to schedule a free in-home repair. Before scheduling service, consumers should check whether the door hinge pin has become loose; if the hinge appears loose, the refrigerator should not be used. If the hinge has not become loose and the door is functioning properly, the refrigerator may continue to be used until it is repaired.
