What happened

If an installation bolt inside the unit makes contact with an electrical component and the microwave is plugged into an ungrounded outlet, it could create an electrical shock hazard. The recall affects Samsung model SMH9151x units produced from January through May 2009, as well as some units of models SMH9151B, SMH9151S, SMH9151ST, SMH9151STE, and SMH9151W produced in June, with specific serial number ranges listed for each model.
